Amendment to OCA Circular No. 12-2006
OCA Circular No. 126-06, issued on August 28, 2006, amends the earlier OCA Circular No. 12-2006 regarding the documentation provided to accused individuals and their counsel. Instead of providing minutes of the court proceedings after each hearing, courts are now directed to furnish a copy of the court order that summarizes what transpired during the session. This change aims to streamline communication and ensure that the necessary information is provided efficiently. Judges and clerks of court are required to comply with this directive.
