CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

Slide 10: 

The word JURISDICTION is derived from 2 Latin words: 1.) JURIS – law; 2.) DICO – to speak, or to say. So, in effect, when you say jurisdiction, literally translated, it means, “I speak by the law.” It means that you are saying “I speak with authority” because when you invoke the law, then your act is authorized. Even in old times when the representatives of the king or the sovereign will try to arrest somebody or will try to enter your house, they open up in the name of the law. They will always invoke “in the name of the law.” JURISDICTION

Slide 11: 

JURISDICTION simply means the power of the court to hear try and decide a case. In its complete aspect, jurisdiction includes not only the powers to hear and decide a case, but also the power to enforce the judgment. JURISDICTION

Slide 12: 

Q: What is the effect if the court has no jurisdiction? A: If a court has no jurisdiction, it has no power or authority to try a case and that is a concept you already know in Criminal Procedure. Without jurisdiction, the trial is null and void as well as the judgment. Let’s go to a criminal case. Can you file an information for murder before the MTC? Or can you file an information for slight physical injuries before the RTC? There is something wrong there. If a slight physical injury case is filed against you in the RTC, what will you do? JURISDICTION

Slide 13: 

JURISDICTION vs. EXERCISE OF JURISDICTION Q: Distinguish jurisdiction from exercise of jurisdiction. A: The authority to decide a case, not the decision rendered, is what makes up jurisdiction. It does not depend upon the regularity of the exercise of that power or upon the rightfulness of the decision made. Where there is jurisdiction over of the person and subject matter, the resolution of all other questions arising in the case is but an exercise of jurisdiction. JURISDICTION

Slide 14: 

ERROR OF JURISDICTION vs. ERROR OF JUDGMENT 1.) When a court acquires jurisdiction over the subject matter, the decision or order on all other questions arising in the case is but an exercise of jurisdiction; Errors which the court may commit in the exercise of such jurisdiction are merely ERRORS OF JUDGMENT; whereas, When a court takes cognizance of a case over the subject matter of which it has no jurisdiction, the court commits an ERROR OF JURISDICTION. 2.) ERRORS OF JURISDICTION are reviewable by certiorari; whereas, ERRORS OF JUDGMENT are reviewable by appeal. JURISDICTION

Slide 15: 

Q: In whom is jurisdiction is vested? A: Jurisdiction is vested with the court, not in the judge. A court may have several branches, and each is not a court distinct and separate from the others. So, when a case is filed before a branch, the trial may be had or proceedings may continue before another branch or judge. JURISDICTION

This is because it commenced somewhere else and it is just reviewing the decision of the said lower court. JURISDICTION
