Appeal is a purely statutory privilege that "may be exercised only in the manner and in accordance with the provisions of law."[58] If an appellate court or tribunal takes cognizance of an appeal that does not comply with the rules, the appellate court or tribunal acts without jurisdiction.[59] The decision on the appeal is null and void.

While there are instances when the Court has relaxed the governing periods of appeal in order to serve substantial justice, this was done only in exceptional cases.[18]  We find no compelling reason to justify the filing of the petition for review before the Court of Appeals beyond the reglementary period.
