ALLIED DOMECQ PHIL. v. SESINANDO E. VILLON OF RTC OF MANILA

This case has been cited 7 times or more.

	GR Nos. 177857-58 2012-01-24	PHILIPPINE COCONUT v. REPUBLIC VELASCO JR., J.
Of the same tenor was what the Court wrote in Allied Domecq Philippines, Inc. v. Villon:[72]
	GR No. 171253 2009-04-16	LAKEVIEW GOLF v. LUZVIMIN SAMAHANG NAYON QUISUMBING, J.
It is settled that jurisdiction over the subject matter is conferred by law. [20] Section 50 [21] of Republic Act No. 6657 [22] and Section 17 [23] of Executive Order No. 229 [24] vests in the DAR the primary and exclusive jurisdiction, both original and appellate, to determine and adjudicate all matters involving the implementation of agrarian reform. [25] Through Executive Order No. 129-A, [26] the President of the Philippines created the DARAB and authorized it to assume the powers and functions of the DAR pertaining to the adjudication of agrarian reform cases. [27]
	GR No. 158121 2007-12-12	HEIRS OF CONCHA v. LUMOCSO PUNO, CJ.
Jurisdiction over the subject matter is the power to hear and determine cases of the general class to which the proceedings in question belong.[28] It is conferred by law and an objection based on this ground cannot be waived by the parties.[29] To determine whether a court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of a case, it is important to determine the nature of the cause of action and of the relief sought.[30]
	GR NO. 169372 2006-12-06	NARCISO GUIANG v. CA CALLEJO, SR., J.
It is axiomatic that the jurisdiction of a tribunal, including a quasi-judicial officer or government agency, over the nature and subject matter of a petition or complaint is determined by the material allegations therein, the character of the relief prayed for, and the law existing at the time of the filing of the complaint or petition.[40] Jurisdiction should be determined by considering not only the status on the relationship between the parties, but also the nature of the issues or questions subject of the controversy. If the issue between the parties is intertwined with an issue the resolution of which is within the exclusive jurisdiction of the DARAB, it must be resolved by the same body.[41] When the actual issues are evident from the records of the case, then jurisdiction over the subject matter need not depend upon the literal averments in the complaint, but on the law as applied to established facts.[42] As the Court held in Ramos v. Stateland Investment Corporation:[43]
	GR NO. 141818 2006-06-22	INSULAR SAVINGS BANK v. FAR EAST BANK YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
Jurisdiction is the authority to hear and determine a cause - the right to act in a case.[37] Jurisdiction over the subject matter is the power to hear and determine the general class to which the proceedings in question belong. Jurisdiction over the subject matter is conferred by law and not by the consent or acquiescence of any or all of the parties or by erroneous belief of the court that it exists.[38]
