| Thus, the Court may dispense with the normal procedure of remanding the case to the expropriation court in order to avoid further delays in the resolution of the case.[118] It can consider the substantive issues raised by Baterina as properly brought before this Court and rule on them accordingly. | |||||

| Ordinarily, when there is sufficient evidence before the Court to enable it to resolve the fundamental issues, the Court will dispense with the regular procedure of remanding the case to the lower court, in order to avoid further delays in the resolution of the case.[54] However, a remand in this case, while time-consuming, is necessary, because the proceedings had in the RTC are grossly inadequate to settle factual issues. Petitioners were unduly deprived of the full opportunity to present evidence on the merits of their defense and third-party complaint. | |||||

| Although belatedly filed, the Resolution of the PNB Board amply demonstrates Mrs. Domitila A. Amon's authority to sign and verify the instant petition. PNB likewise was not obligated to disclose the alluded case pending before the Court of Appeals as it was not initiated by the bank and, more importantly, the subject matter and the properties involved therein are altogether different.[64] It is well to remember at this point that rules of procedure are but mere tools designed to facilitate the attainment of justice. Their strict and rigid application which would result in technicalities that tend to frustrate rather than promote substantial justice, must always be avoided.[65] In proper cases, procedural rules may be relaxed or suspended in the interest of substantial justice.[66] And the power of the Court to except a particular case from its rules whenever the purposes of justice require it cannot be questioned.[67] | |||||
