[ SC ADMINISTRATIVE CIRCULAR NO. 57, November 19, 1989 ]

ADMINISTRATIVE SUPERVISION OF COURTS

T O :

ALL CLERKS OF COURT, DIVISION CLERKS OF COURT OF THE COURT OF APPEALS, SANDIGANBAYAN AND COURT OF TAX APPEALS, CLERKS OF COURT AND BRANCH CLERKS OF COURT OF THE REGIONAL TRIAL COURTS, SHARIA DISTRICT COURTS, METROPOLITAN TRIAL COURTS, MUNICIPAL TRIAL COURTS IN CITIES, MUNICIPAL TRIAL COURTS, MUNICIPAL CIRCUIT TRIAL COURTS AND SHARI'A CIRCUIT COURTS

SUBJECT :

ISSUANCE OF CERTIFIED TRUE COPIES OF DECISIONS AND ORDERS.

All Clerks of Court, Division Clerks of Court, and Branch Clerks of Court must issue certified true copies of all decisions, resolutions and orders duly signed and promulgated by their respective Courts being initially transmitted and furnished the parties, including orders promulgated in open court;

The practice of merely furnishing the parties plain copies has posed difficulties to parties desiring to file petitions for review whenever the Rules of Court and existing circulars require the submission of certified true copies.

The certified true copies initially furnished the parties upon promulgation of the decision, resolution, or orders shall be without cost. Request for additional certified true copies shall be complied with upon promulgation of the decision, resolution, or orders shall be without cost. Request for additional certified true copies shall be complied with upon payment of appropriate legal fees.

This Circular shall be immediately effective on the date of issuance.

November 19, 1989.
