Doctrine of Non-interference or Doctrine of Judicial Stability

(1)     Courts of equal and coordinate jurisdiction cannot interfere with each other’s orders.
Thus, the RTC has no power to nullify or enjoin the enforcement of a writ of possession
issued by another RTC. The principle also bars a court from reviewing or interfering with the
judgment of a co-equal court over which it has no appellate jurisdiction or power of review.

(2)     This doctrine applies with equal force to administrative bodies. When the law provides
for an appeal from the decision of an administrative body to the SC or CA, it means that
such body is co-equal with the RTC in terms of rand and stature, and logically beyond the
control of the latter.

II.    JURISDICTION

Jurisdiction – the power and authority of the court to hear, try and decide a case.

Jurisdiction over the Parties

(1)     The manner by which the court acquires jurisdiction over the parties depends on
whether the party is the plaintiff or the defendant

(2)     Jurisdiction over the plaintiff is acquired by his filing of the complaint or petition. By
doing so, he submits himself to the jurisdiction of the court.

(3)     Jurisdiction over the person of the defendant is obtained either by a valid service of
summons upon him or by his voluntary submission to the court’s authority.

(4)     The mode of acquisition of jurisdiction over the plaintiff and the defendant applies to
both ordinary and special civil actions like mandamus or unlawful detainer cases.
