	GR No. 207682 2014-12-10	CONRADO B. NICART v. MA. JOSEFINA C. TITONG VELASCO JR., J.
A moot and academic case is one that ceases to present a justiciable controversy by virtue of supervening events, so that a declaration thereon would be of no practical value. As a rule, courts decline jurisdiction over such case, or dismiss it on ground of mootness.[26] Whatever judgment is reached, the same can no longer have any practical legal effect or, in the nature of things, can no longer be enforced.[27]

An issue or a case becomes moot and academic when it ceases to present a justiciable controversy so that a determination thereof would be without practical use and value[9] or in the nature of things, cannot be enforced.[10] In such cases, there is no actual substantial relief to which the applicant would be entitled to and which would be negated by the dismissal of the petition.[11] As a rule, courts decline jurisdiction over such case, or dismiss it on ground of mootness.[12]
