QUISUMBING, J. |

| Both the trial court and the Court of Appeals found the mortgage deed invalid. In the instant petition, no compelling reason to review that finding has been advanced by petitioner before us. Nor has petitioner pointed out serious errors, if any, that could merit such review. To resolve the issue of whether the trial court erred in not granting the writ of possession in favor of petitioner is now moot, if not superfluous. The deed of mortgage being invalid, there is no longer any basis for the issuance of said writ. No practical or useful purpose would be served by passing on the merits of a non-issue. Courts will not determine a moot question in a case in which no practical relief can be granted.[7] | |||||

| A lawyer is an officer of the Court,[90] bound by the law. It is a lawyer's sworn and moral duty to help build and not destroy unnecessarily the high esteem and regard towards the courts so essential to the proper administration of justice.[91] | |||||
