| In the light of the foregoing considerations, the challenged dismissal of Civil Case No. MC-99-600, as ordered in the assailed judgment of the CA, on the ground of improper venue, is correct. The Court will even go further and apply its Decision in G.R. No. 161026 as the law of the case with respect to Hyatt on the issue of venue. Whatever is once irrevocably established as the controlling legal rule or decision between the same parties in the same case continues to be the law of the case so long as the facts on which such decision was predicated continue to be the facts of the case before the court.[13] With the view we take of this case, the factual milieu upon which the Decision in G.R. No. 161026 was based has remained unchanged to justify the application of the salutary law of the case principle. | |||||
