Participation to the Case Decongestion and Delay Reduction Project (CDDRP)

July 11, 2011

OCA CIRCULAR NO. 88-11

 

WHEREAS, the Supreme Court's Judicial Reform Program (JRP) has implemented projects and other interventions to address the perennial problem of case congestion and delay in the hearings and disposal of cases in all court levels. Among these are: case and docket management training, human resources capacity-building for judges and court personnel, and conduct of dialogues and focus group discussions with other justice sector agencies who are likewise mandated with the prompt and fair of justice;

WHEREAS, Chief Justice Renato C. Corona has stated that case decongestion and efficient case management are the key priority reform areas under his leadership. With this policy direction, the Court through the Office of the Court Administrator (OCA) and the Program Management Office (PMO) have piloted a case decongestion project in the three (3) Regional Trial Courts and one (1) Municipal Trial Court in Cities (MTCC) in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu where the Courts' average number of cases filed is higher than that disposed for each month;

WHEREAS, the conduct of another Case Decongestion and Case Delay Reduction Project (CDDRP) in selected courts which were found to have high caseloads is expected to significantly declog the dockets of these courts, eventually improving the overall case disposal rate and overall efficiency in their operations;

WHEREAS, the CDDR project aims to: (1) reduce by at least 10% to 15% the number of pending cases in these selected courts after the recommendations of the diagnostic audit are complied with; (2) identify the specific problems/difficulties of the judges and court personnel in disposing of their pending cases; and (3) develop a docket/case management plan for each court branch;

WHEREFORE, IN VIEW OF THE FOREGOING, the following Judges and Court Personnel are required to attend and participate in the CDDRP activities on the following dates:
