OCA CIRCULAR NO. 134-2016
| TO | : | All Presiding/Acting Presiding Judges of the First and Second Level Courts, National Capital Judicial Region (NCJR) |
| SUBJECT | : | Submission of Report on the Status of Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs) or Writs of Preliminary Injunction in Cases Involving Government Infrastructure Projects |
Under OCA Circular No. 38-2014 dated 12 March 2014 (Re: Judicious Implementation of Court Issuances Concerning the Ban on the Issuances of Temporary Restraining Orders or Writs of Preliminary Injunction Involving Government Infrastructure Projects), all judges of the first and second level courts are exhorted to continuously observe and implement the various administrative issuances of the Court prohibiting the issuance of TROs and writs of preliminary injunction involving government infrastructure projects and, in exceptional cases, to ensure that such cases after the TRO is converted into a writ of preliminary injunction are resolved in a speedy and timely manner.
Particularly, the Court issued Administrative Circular No. 62-2002 dated 20 November 2002 as a reminder to all the trial judges to observe the prohibition against the issuance of TROs and writs of preliminary injunction in cases involving government infrastructure projects pursuant to Administrative Circular No. 07-99 dated 25 June 1999 1 and Administrative Circular No. 11-2000 dated 13 November 2000, 2 and to submit status reports of TROs and writs of preliminary injunction issued thereon.
Considering that there are still reports of TROs and writs of preliminary injunction issued by the lower courts in cases involving government infrastructure projects, there is a need to determine the status of these TROs and writs.
In view thereof, all concerned Judges are hereby DIRECTED to submit a status report on the TROs or writs of preliminary injunction in cases involving government infrastructure projects which were filed in and acted upon by their respective courts for the period 1 January 2015 to 31 May 2016, using the attached form (Annex "A" hereof), addressed to the Court Management Office, Office of the Court Administrator, not later than 30 June 2016.
