GR No. 201715

REPUBLIC v. MANILA ELECTRIC COMPANY
BERSAMIN, J.
With the intervening rendition of the decision on the merits, the challenge against the interlocutory orders of the RTC designed to prevent the RTC from proceeding with the pre-trial and the trial on the merits was rendered moot and academic. In other words, any determination of the issue on the interlocutory orders was left without any practical value.[26] A case that is moot and academic because of supervening events ceases to present any justiciable controversy. The courts of law will not determine moot and academic questions, for they should not engage in academic declarations and determine moot questions.[27]
