I will recommend as I have always advised my clients to take the opportunity to speak to each other – this one last time. Remember you liked one another at one time and this may be the final time you must cooperate with one another and this may be a very powerful time to take action.

And the money lawyers and mediators earn comes from the assets you personal, which also adds to the debt you’ll have amassed between you. So, speak this one last time.

Estoppel doesn’t confer jurisdiction. It will only stop you from questioning the shortage of jurisdiction. The ancient case of Tijam vs. Sibunghanoy is the perfect example of estoppel by latches, as used in that case. One litigant in that case knew that the court docket has no jurisdiction over the case beforehand; when the case was dragging 15 years and he realized he was dropping the case solely then did he query the court’s jurisdiction. The SC stated he was playing on the results of the litigation; estoppel by latches was born and he was precluded from questioning the jurisdiction of the courtroom. The jurisdiction of the court was left untouched. But estoppel just isn’t the GR, it must be utilized only in instances strictly analogous to Tijam vs. Sibunghanoy. The rule nonetheless is: the dearth of jurisdiction will be questioned in any stage of the proceeding even for the primary time on appeal. This is the overall rule established in Calimlim vs. Ramirez.
