TO :
ALL JUDGES OF THE REGIONAL TRIAL COURTS, METROPOLITAN TRIAL
COURTS, MUNICIPAL TRIAL COURTS IN CITIES, MUNICIPAL TRIAL COURTS,
MUNICIPAL CIRCUIT TRIAL COURTS, SHARI’A DISTRICT COURTS AND SHARI’A
CIRCUIT COURTS
 
SUBJECT:
Assuming Duties Before Issuance of Appointments of Recommendees

It has been brought to our attention that some Judges have
allowed their recommendees to assume the duties of the position to which
they have been recommended even before the issuance of their
respective appointments which led to numerous requests for payment of
salaries for services rendered which in most cases could not be acted
upon favorably.

In order to avoid the non-payment of service rendered, it is
hereby ordered that no Judge shall allow his recommendee to assume
office before the issuance of his appointment except in meritorious or
urgent cases and with the prior approval of of the Court Administrator.

To ensure the smooth operation of their courts, Judges shall be
promptly informed by the Office of the Administrative Services of the
issuance of the appointments of their recommendees so that the latter
can assume office even before approval of their appointments by the
Civil Service Commission.

This Order takes effect immediately.

March 27, 1987.

 

(Sgd.) CLAUDIO TEEHANKEE

 
Chief Justice
