CIRCULAR
NO. 3[1987]
TO: ALL JUDGES
OF THE REGIONAL TRIAL COURTS, METROPOLITAN TRIAL COURTS, MUNICIPAL
TRIAL
COURTS IN CITIES, MUNICIPAL TRIAL COURTS, MUNICIPAL CIRCUIT TRIAL
COURTS,
SHARI'A DISTRICT COURTS AND SHARI'A CIRCUIT COURTS
SUBJECT: ASSUMING
DUTIES BEFORE ISSUANCE OF APPOINTMENTS OF RECOMENDEES.
It has been brought
to our attention that some Judges have allowed their recommendees to
assume
the duties of the position to which they have been recommended even
before
the issuance of their respective appointments which led to numerous
requests
for payment of salaries for services rendered which, in most cases,
could
not be acted upon favorably.
In order to avoid
the non-payment of service rendered, it is hereby ordered that no Judge
shall allow his recommendee to assume office before the issuance of his
appointment except in meritorious or urgent cases and with the prior
approval
of the Court Administrator.cralaw:red
To ensure the smooth
operation of their Courts, Judges shall be promptly informed by the
Office
of the Administrative Services of the issuance of the appointments of
their
recommendees so that the latter can assume office even before approval
of their appointments by the Civil Service Commission.cralaw:red
This Order takes
effect immediately.
March 27,
1987.
