| A case is moot and academic if it "ceases to present a justiciable controversy because of supervening events so that a declaration thereon would be of no practical use or value."[30] When a case is moot and academic, this court generally declines jurisdiction over it.[31] | |||||

| Besides, respondents' petition for certiorari had long become moot by the RTC's January 11, 2011 Decision. In particular, the grant of the petition for certiorari on mere incidental matters of the proceedings would not accord any practical relief to respondents because a decision had already been rendered on the main case which may be subject of an appeal. Lest it be misunderstood, a case becomes moot when no useful purpose can be served in passing upon its merits. As a rule, courts will not determine a moot question in case in which no practical relief can be granted.[33] | |||||
