Q

Filed in MTC > dismissed > Filed RTC under R65 > denied > raising pure questions of LAW

next course of action?

A

Here, the decision of the Regional Trial Court in the exercise of its appellate jurisdiction is appealed to the Court of Appeals by filing a petition for review under r45, not just by a mere notice of appeal or a record on appeal, [on questions of fact, or even purely of law, or mixed questions of fact and law]

Conversely, even if decision rendered by the Regional Trial Court in the exercise of its appellate jurisdiction is to be reviewed on pure question of law, the remedy is petition for review with the Court of Appeals under Rule 42 of the Rules of Court, not petition for review on certiorari with the Supreme Court under Rule 45, as this later remedy, as applied to decision of the Regional Trial Court, is only applicable where what is to reviewed on pure question of law is a decision rendered by the Regional Trial Court in the exercise of its original jurisdiction (Almendras vs. South Davao Dev’t. Corp., Inc., G.R. No. 198209, March 22, 2017);
