LRC Case No. 4
CANDELARIA DAYOT,
Petitioner.
MOTION TO EXPUNGE/EXCLUDE
FROM THE RECORDS
OPPOSITOR'S (“SCCPLI”) DEMURRER TO EVIDENCE
COMES NOW, Petitioner, by the undersigned counsels, unto this
Honorable Court most respectfully move for the expulsion/exclusion from the
records of the case Oppositor Shell Chemical Company (Philippines), Inc. (now
SCCP Land, Inc. or “SCCPLI”), Demurrer to Evidence dated June 26, 2013, on the
following grounds;
Firstly, pursuant to Section 4, Rule 1 of the Rules of Court 1, Demurrer to
Evidence is inapplicable to land registration cases. Verily, because in cadastral
proceedings, the case is decided based on the evidence of each party. In other
words, each party must prove his/her own allegations, therefore, a demurrer to a
party's evidence is not allowed under the aforequoted rule; Ww
r
* Rule I, See. 4 of the Rules of Caurt reads:
Section 4. Jn what case not applicable, —These Rules shall not apply to election cases, land registration, cadastral,
naturalization and insolvency proceedings, and other cases not herein provided for, except by analogy or in a
suppletory character and whenever practicable and convenient. (R143a)
h al (+ ISecondly, granting without admitting that it falls within the purview of the
exception as stated in Section 4, Rule 1 of the Rules of Court, still Oppositor
SCCPLI belatedly submitted its Demurrer to Evidence. Section 1, Rule 33 of the
Rules of Court? allows Oppositor to file Demurrer to Evidence after petitioner
rested its case. Records clearly show that petitioner rested her case. In fact an
Order for admission to petitioner's Offer of Exhibits was issued last November 7,
2012. Thereafter, the Court issued an Order dated November 9, 2012 for the
presentation of evidence for oppositors. After the lapsed of more than six (6)
months, it is only now that it decided to submit its Demurer to Evidence - a clear
evidence of delaying the proceedings before this Honorable Court. To date, this,
case aged 7 years since it was filed sometime in February 2006.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed of this
Honorable Court that Oppositor’s Demurrer to Evidence be expunged and
excluded in the records of this case.
Other reliefs, which are just and equitable under the circumstances are
likewise prayed.
July 4, 2013, loilo City, Philippines.
2 agection 1. Denurrer to evidence. —- After the plaintf€ has completed the presentation of his evidence, the defendant
‘may move for dismissal on the ground that upon the facts and the lathe plaintiff has shown no eight to relief IThis
motion is denied he shall have the right to present evidence. If the motion is granted but on appeal the order of
dismissal i reversed he shall be deemed to have waived the right to present evidence. (Ta, R3
