BANK OF COMMERCE v. ESTELA PERLAS-BERNABE

This case has been cited 3 times or more.

	GR No. 171172 2015-11-09	BANK OF PHILIPPINE ISLANDS v. SPS. JOHNSON AND EVELYN CO AND JUPITER REAL ESTATE VENTURES JARDELEZA, J.
In a Resolution dated January 9, 2012, the CA denied the motion for reconsideration of Spouses Co and Jupiter.[39] Only Spouses Co filed a Petition for Review on Certiorari with Motion to Consolidate this Petition (G.R. No. 200061) with G.R. No. 171172 dated February 8, 2012.[40] Spouses Co alleged that the cases of Philippine Savings Bank v. Mañalac, Jr.,[41] Bank of Commerce v. Perlas-Bernabe[42] Sulit v. Court of Appeals,[43] and Barican v. Intermediate Appellate Court[44] should apply and the CA should have considered the peculiar circumstances of the case.[45] They claimed that there was then a petition for corporate rehabilitation pending with another court that issued a stay order.[46] Thus, the foreclosure was null and void.[47] Spouses Co further alleged that Act No. 3135 violates the Constitution since the law gives unbridled license to the court and purchaser to deprive the owner of the property without the opportunity to be heard.[48]
	GR No. 193065 2012-02-27	DEUTSCHE BANK AG v. CA MENDOZA, J.
Hence, consolidation of cases is proper when there is a real need to forestall the possibility of conflicting decisions being rendered in the cases.[27] In the case under consideration, considering that Deutsche Bank AG and Vitarich cases are not related, the risk of conflicting decisions is a remote probability.
	GR No. 152375 2011-12-13	REPUBLIC v. SANDIGANBAYAN (FOURTH DIVISION) BRION, J.
On December 13, 1996, the Sandiganbayan resolved the Urgent Petition by granting authority to the PCGG (i) "to cause the holding of a special stockholders' meeting of ETPI for the sole purpose of increasing ETPI's authorized capital stock" and (ii) "to vote therein the sequestered Class 'A' shares of stock."[22] Thus, a special stockholders meeting was held, as previously scheduled, on March 17, 1997 and the increase in ETPI's authorized capital stock was "unanimously approved."[23] From this ruling, Africa went to this Court via a petition for certiorari[24] docketed as G.R. No. 147214 (Africa's petition).
