Can the Supreme Court alter the location where a trial is held?
The Supreme Court is authorized to manage trial proceedings to guarantee a fair and impartial hearing for all parties involved. Specifically, it has the authority to order a change of venue or place of trial when necessary. This power is primarily exercised to avoid a miscarriage of justice that might occur in the original jurisdiction. This specific procedural power is granted by Article VIII Section 5 1987 Philippine Constitution. “(4) Order a change of venue or place of trial to avoid a miscarriage of justice.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
