CARPIO MORALES, J. |
||||
| While as a general rule, a party who has not appealed is not entitled to any affirmative relief other than the one granted in the decision of the court below, the Court is imbued with sufficient authority and discretion to review matters not otherwise assigned as errors on appeal, if it finds that their consideration is necessary in arriving at a complete and just resolution of the case[38] [39]or to serve the interests of justice or to avoid dispensing piecemeal justice. The present case does not fall into any of the exceptions. | |||||
