| That Vivencio raised the issue of lack of jurisdiction over the subject matter only after respondent Fifth Shari'a District Court had rendered judgment is immaterial. A party may assail the jurisdiction of a court or tribunal over a subject matter at any stage of the proceedings, even on appeal.[59] The reason is that "jurisdiction is conferred by law, and lack of it affects the very authority of the court to take cognizance of and to render judgment on the action."[60] | |||||
