Olivarez Realty Corporation Duly Represented By Erlinda Bernardo v. Alfredo B. Guiao

Summary

Olivarez Realty Corporation challenged the Supreme Court's March 9, 2015 minute resolution denying its petition for review on certiorari. In its motion for reconsideration, Olivarez argued the case's exceptional character warranted detailed explanation and challenged the constitutionality of AM No. 04-2-04-SC and related Supreme Court resolutions, claiming these violated its right to access courts and diminished prescriptive period rights under the Civil Code. The Supreme Court denied the motion with finality, holding that minute resolutions constitute valid judicial practice authorized by the Constitution, that constitutional challenges must be raised directly rather than collaterally, and that the contested administrative rules remain presumptively valid. The Court emphasized its discretionary appellate jurisdiction and ruled that rehashed arguments insufficient to show reversible error do not warrant reconsideration.
