| This Court takes this occasion to reiterate that execution is the final stage of litigation, the end of the suit. It can not and should not be frustrated except for serious reasons demanded by justice and equity.[47] "Litigation must end sometime and somewhere. An effective and efficient administration of justice requires that, once a judgment has become final, the winning party be not, through a mere subterfuge, be deprived of the fruits of the verdicts. Courts must, therefore, guard against any scheme calculated to bring about that result. Constituted as they are to put an end to controversies, courts should frown upon any attempt to prolong them."[48] | |||||
