	Adm. Case No. 6475 2013-01-30	FE A. YLAYA v. ATTY. GLENN CARLOS GACOTT BRION, J.
The most basic tenet of due process is the right to be heard. Denial of due process means the total lack of opportunity to be heard or to have one's day in court. As a rule, no denial of due process takes place where a party has been given an opportunity to be heard and to present his case;[35] what is prohibited is the absolute lack of opportunity to be heard.
	GR NO. 157752 2005-03-16	SALLY MIGUEL v. JCT GROUP PANGANIBAN, J.
To repeat, a decision with nothing to support it is a patent nullity.[23] It should be struck down and set aside as void.[24] Acting with utmost regard for the rights of petitioners, however, the CA did not outrightly set aside the Decisions of the NLRC and the labor arbiter. Instead, the CA remanded the case for further proceedings to allow petitioners to prove their claim of illegal dismissal. The remand of the case, instead of the dismissal of the Complaint, was beneficial to petitioners and was made in consideration of the policy to protect and promote the general welfare of employees.
