Deeds.
Petitioner filed a petition for review for the ejectment case before the
Court of Appeals where it ruled in favor of private respondent Veneracion.
Petitioner then filed a motion for reconsideration but was subsequently
denied. Hence, this case.
ISSUES
Whether or not the denial of petitioners motion for reconsideration
before the Court of Appeals violated the Constitution for not stating the legal
basis?
RULINGS
No, such act is not a violation.
Article VIII, Section 14 of the 1987 Constitution provides that No
petition for review or motion for reconsideration of a decision of the court
shall be refused due course or denied without stating the basis therefor. The
Supreme Court ruled that this requirement has been complied with by the
Court of Appeals by declaring in its resolution that it found no reason to
change its ruling because petitioner had not raised anything new to provide
further basis for the reconsideration.
The CAs resolution states: For resolution is the Motion for
Reconsideration of Our Decision filed by the petitioners. Evidently, the
motion poses nothing new. The points and arguments raised by the movants
have been considered and passed upon in the Decision sought to be
reconsidered. Thus, We find no reason to disturb the same.
