	GR No. 193706 2013-03-12	EBRENCIO F. INDOYON v. CA SERENO, C.J.
We remind petitioner, as we have consistently reminded countless other litigants, that the invocation of substantial justice is not a magic potion that will automatically compel this Court to set aside technical rules.[22] This principle is especially true when a litigant, as in the present case, shows a predilection for utterly disregarding the Rules.
	GR No. 174982 2012-09-10	JOSE VICENTE ATILANO II v. JUDGE TIBING A. ASAALI PERLAS-BERNABE, J.
Payment of the full amount of docket fees is an indispensable step to the perfection of an appeal, and the Court acquires jurisdiction over any case only upon such payment.[9] Corollary to this, the Court has consistently held that procedural rules are not to be disregarded simply because their non-observance may result in prejudice to a party's substantive rights.[10]
