The Supreme Court (SC) on Monday announced the suspension of court operations in several areas on November 10 due to inclement weather caused by Typhoon Uwan.
In an X post, the High Court listed the affected courts:
- Regional Trial Court (RTC) Office of the Clerk of Court (OCC), RTC Branches 63 and 74, and municipal trial court in cities (MTCC) in La Carlota City, Negros Occidental
- RTC Branches 68 and 6 (Family Court) Dumangas; municipal trial court (MTC) Barotac, Nuevo; and municipal circuit trial court (MCTC) Pototan-Mina in Iloilo
“The filing of time-bound pleadings and the issuance of time-bound resolutions and decisions… are SUSPENDED until normal court operations resume,” the SC said.
Exempted from the suspension are matters requiring immediate action, including applications for bail, release orders, and writs of habeas corpus.
The announcement follows Malacañang’s suspension of government work in nine regions and classes in 12 regions from November 10 to 11 due to Typhoon Uwan.
Signal No. 4 remained hoisted over eight areas in Luzon as the typhoon exited the landmass early Monday.
Separately, all courts in Talisay City, Cebu also suspended work from November 10 to 11 following the aftermath of Typhoon Tino (international name Kalmaegi).
