SC CIRCULAR NO. 8, June 18, 1986
| TO : |
ALL JUDGES AND PERSONNEL OF BOTH THE JUDICIARY AND THE OFFICE OF THE COURT ADMINISTRATOR
|
| SUBJECT: |
PROPER IDENTIFICATION OF A PARTICULAR COURT BY INDICATING ITS SPECIFIC BRANCH IN ARABIC INSTEAD OF ROMAN NUMERALS
|
The different Branches of the Regional Trial Courts and of the
Metropolitan Trial Courts in the National Capital Region, as provided in
Sections 14 and 27, respectively, of Batas Pambansa Big. 129, are
numerically listed in Roman numerals. This, however, often causes
confusion particularly on the part of many who are no longer accustomed
to the use of archaic Roman numerals. Accordingly judges and personnel
both of the Judiciary and of the Office of the Court
Administrator are directed henceforth to indicate in all records,
orders, decisions, and other official documents and communications, the
specific Branch number of the particular court concerned in Arabic
numerals.
Strict observance of this directive is hereby enjoined.
June 18, 1986.
