CIRCULAR NO. 23 [1979]
TO : ALL JUDGES OF THE COURTS OF FIRST INSTANCE

SUBJECT : VACATION DUTY OF DISTRICT JUDGE.

Section 66 of the Judiciary Act, as amended, provides:

"Section 66. Assignment of Judges to vacation duty. - During the month of January of each year, the Department Head shall issue an order naming the judges who are to remain on duty during the court vacation of that year; and consistent with the requirements of the judicial service, the assignment shall be made that no Judge shall be assigned to vacation duty, unless upon his own request, with greater frequency than once in three years. "xxx" To enable the Supreme Court to prepare the necessary schedule, please inform this Office on or before December 31, 1979 whether you opt to take vacation or remain on duty during the months of April and May 1980. The Supreme Court will be guided by, but is by no means bound by your choice. Failure or omission on your part to inform this Office leaves this Office full discretion to recommend to the Supreme Court who will be on duty.

It is the policy of the Supreme Court that no Judge shall be assigned to vacation duty with greater frequency of more than once in three years, unless upon his own request.

It is likewise the policy of the Supreme Court not to allow a Judge to be on vacation duty outside the province or city to which he has been permanently appointed, unless per diems and travelling expenses are waived. No Judge, however, may be assigned on vacation duty to his hometown or home province. In cases where there are two or more Judges in the same municipality, this Office will entertain proposals as to who shall be on duty whether for the entire period or as a portion thereof to assure that at least one Judge is on duty during any given period.

Your preferential attention and early reply hereto will be appreciated.

November 14, 1979.

[Sgd.] LORENZO RELOVA Court Administrator
