SUBJECT:

DISTRIBUTION AND DISSEMINATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS, CIRCULARS AND OTHER COURT ISSUANCES

This Office has been distributing copies of administrative orders, circulars and other issuances of the Court to the Executive Judges for dissemination to the courts within their respective administrative area of supervision. However, it has come to the attention of this Office that same courts have neither been given nor timely received the administrative issuances of the Court. As such, they either fail or belatedly comply with the necessary requirements especially if directed to do so by the Court.

In this connection, you are reminded of. the provisions of Section 12 (a and b), Chapter VII of the Court En Banc Resolution dated January 27, 2004 in A.M. No. 03-8- 02-SC, to wit:

He shall attach to the report the proof of service, such as acknowledgment receipts, of the copies thereof to the judges.

For this purpose, he/she may conduct dialogues with the Presiding Judges and examine court records end documents to determine whether or not the officials and employees of the courts have complied with the issuances.
