Court of Appeals
TITLE FRANCISCO LIM TUPAS and IGNACIO LIM TUPAS, petitioners, vs.
HON. COURT OF APPEALS and PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES,
respondents.
PONENTE Cruz, J
Petitioners claim that they were denied the due process of law arguing
that they were prejudiced by the mistakes of their counsel and that as
laymen, they are not familiar with the intricacies of the law.
ISSUE(S) Whether or not petitioners were denied the due process of law
RULING(S) No. The Court did not commit any reversible error in dismissing the
petitioners’ appeal on the ground of tardiness. Sec 22 of BP 129 and
Section 22(b) of the Interim rules, “If a motion for reconsideration is
filed with and denied by a regional trial court, the movant has only
the remaining period within which to file a petition for review.
Hence, it may be necessary to file a motion with the Court of Appeals for
extension of time to file such petition for review”.
