OCA CIRCULAR NO. 11-10
| TO | : | Executive/Presiding Judges, Clerks of Court/Officers-in-Charge/Accountable Officers of the First and Second Level Courts |
| SUBJECT | : | Clarification of the Guidelines in the Implementation of the Court's Resolution in Administrative Matter No. 05-3-35-SC Pursuant to OCA Circular No. 23-2009 dated March 3, 2009 |
Pursuant to the Resolutions dated January 31, 2006 and March 11, 2008, the Court En Banc NOTED and GRANTED the Audit Observation Memorandum of the Supreme Court Resident Auditor and DIRECTED the remittance of interests earned from the Fiduciary Fund and forfeited/confiscated bonds to the Bureau of Treasury in accordance with the General Provisions of the General Appropriations Act.
On March 3, 2009, the Office of the Court Administrator issued OCA Circular No. 23-2009 enumerating the guidelines to be followed by the concerned officers of the lower courts in the manner of treating the interests earned from the Fiduciary Fund and forfeited/confiscated bonds.
Second to the last paragraph of the aforesaid Circular provides:
"This Circular shall apply to all interests earned and bonds confiscated/forfeited beginning January 2009."
Considering the numerous inquiry received by this Office relative to the aforementioned provision, the same necessitates clarification which should read as follows:
"This circular shall apply to all unwithdrawn/unremitted interests and bonds confiscated/forfeited effective upon the issuance of the Resolution En Banc in A.M. No. 99-8-01-SC, dated September 14, 1999, which took effect on November 1, 1999."
For strict and immediate compliance. cHaICD
