SC leaves trial courts work suspension on executive judges’ call

Acting Chief Justice Antonio Carpio has allowed executive judges (EJs) of trial courts in Marikina and other areas seriously affected by inclement weather and flooding to determine the necessity of suspending work in courts.

“EJs of trial courts in Marikina and other severely affected areas may exercise their discretion to suspend work in their areas due to the continuous rain and flooding,” Carpio said in his advisory on Monday.  /kga
