What specific duties are included under the scope of judicial power?
Judicial power broadly encompasses the duty of the courts of justice to settle actual controversies involving rights which are legally demandable and enforceable. Furthermore, it includes the critical responsibility to determine whether or not there has been a grave abuse of discretion on the part of any government branch. Such abuse of discretion must amount to a lack or excess of jurisdiction to warrant judicial intervention. The specific definition of this duty is found in Article VIII Section 1 1987 Philippine Constitution. “Judicial power includes the duty of the courts of justice to settle actual controversies involving rights which are legally demandable and enforceable, and to determine whether or not there has been a grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction on the part of any branch or instrumentality of the Government.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
