Republic v. Sandiganbayan [First Division]
This is a civil case involving the Republic of the Philippines, represented by the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG), against the Sandiganbayan, Eduardo Cojuangco Jr., and others. The legal issue in this case is whether the Supreme Court would grant the requests of the PCGG, such as the expungement of certain motions from the records, noting without action the returned resolutions, excusing the Process Servicing Unit from serving court notices and processes, and directing the entry of judgment in these cases in due course. The Supreme Court granted some of these requests, but not all, due to the resolution dated June 21, 2011, prohibiting the filing of further pleadings or motions in these cases.
