	GR No. 160684 2015-09-02	CLT REALTY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION v. HI-GRADE FEEDS CORPORATION PEREZ, J.
The Republic is not an indispensable party in the instant litigation. An indispensable party is a party-in-interest without whom no final determination can be had of an action, and who shall be joined either as plaintiffs or defendants.[22] Here, even without the Republic as participant, a final determination of the issues can be attained.
	GR No. 186610 2013-07-29	POLICE SENIOR SUPERINTENDENT DIMAPINTO MACAWADIB v. PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE DIRECTORATE FOR PERSONNEL PERALTA, J.
As the above-mentioned agencies were not impleaded in this case much less given notice of the proceedings, the decision of the trial court granting petitioner's prayer for the correction of entries in his service records, is void. As mentioned above, the absence of an indispensable party renders all subsequent actions of the court null and void for want of authority to act, not only as to the absent parties but even as to those present.[17]
	GR No. 201816 2013-04-08	HEIRS OF FAUSTINO MESINA v. HEIRS OF DOMINGO FIAN VELASCO JR., J.
Non-joinder means the "failure to bring a person who is a necessary party [or in this case an indispensable party] into a lawsuit."[10] An indispensable party, on the other hand, is a party-in-interest without whom no final determination can be had of the action, and who shall be joined either as plaintiff or defendant.[11]
