CARPIO MORALES, J. |
||||
| Respecting petitioner's contention that the LRA, the DOJ and the OP had digressed from the issues and matters agreed upon during the pre-trial conferences and thereafter embodied in the pre-trial order, suffice it to point out that technical rules of procedure and evidence are not strictly applied in administrative proceedings.[35] At any event, these matters and issues were seasonably addressed by petitioner's motions for reconsideration. Hence, the possibility of surprise and maneuvering, which the rule on pre-trial is designed to prevent,[36] has altogether been obviated. | |||||
