What is the rule on the temporary assignment of lower court judges to other stations?
The Supreme Court is entrusted with administrative powers to ensure the efficient delivery of justice across different regions. It can temporarily assign judges of lower courts to other stations as public interest may require. However, such temporary assignment shall not exceed six months without the explicit consent of the judge concerned. These administrative capabilities are established in Article VIII Section 5 1987 Philippine Constitution. “(3) Assign temporarily judges of lower courts to other stations as public interest may require. Such temporary assignment shall not exceed six months without the consent of the judge concerned.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
