Court | Regional Trial Court |
Usage
[edit]It works exactly like {{Infobox court case}}, with minor differences:
- Decision by is now ponente
|court=
can be SC, CA, CTA, SB (Sandiganbayan) or RTC, and this will automatically select correct court and images (images may no longer be supplied, edit this template instead and add whatever missing court you need)- Added a
|branch=
for RTC cases - Added an
|RTCcity=
for RTC cases - Questions and Holding can be displayed together
- Seriatim opinion has been dropped and replaced with Separate opinion, such as happened in Biraogo v. Philippine Truth Commission. (
|Separate=
,|Separate2=
, &c.) - If a case hasn't been decided yet, provide
|suppressEnBanc=y
so you don't need to give a division/branch. |ChiefJudgeTitle=
was removed as it seems unnecessary.- It is very rare, but sometimes, motions for reconsideration actually change the opinion of the Court! 🥳 (E.g. in Quinto v. COMELEC.) So, to handle these rare cases,
|MRaccepted=
,|MR2accepted=
and|MR2denied=
were added. They should contain dates, like|date decided=
. - Sometimes Filipino court cases have very long names, as happened in People of the Philippines v. Ampatuan Jr., et al. To deal with this,
|full name collapse=y
may now be supplied. Use sparingly. - Sometimes a lot of cases get consolidated, as in Disini v. Secretary of Justice.
|consolidated=y
with|alt names=
,|alt names collapse=
, and|number alt names=
can help. - Courts can have different case numbers depending on the court where the case is filed.
|GR number=
and|Case number=
were added to distinguish the two, as are their plural equivalents|GR numbers=
and|Case numbers=
.
