Supreme Court Chief Justice Alexander G. Gesmundo is essaying a “ponencia” that will have ripple effects on the bench and the bar with judicial innovations that is aimed at taking out the sting from the oft-repeated “justice- delayed-justice-denied” complaints from those who sought redress from the courts.
The SPJI arose from the challenges that the High Court had to address following the Covid-19 pandemic where traditional solutions were off-tangent and along came the realization for the need to “establish new frameworks and adopt new approaches, but at the same time, build on and repurpose existing ones, to achieve the longtime aspiration of delivering responsive and real-time justice.”
The decongestion of cases at the highest court of the land has been addressed by other Chief Justices before him, but what he is introducing is a deadline of sorts, something he is very familiar with as a financial journalist then. So the High Court set 24 months. In setting this parameter for the decision of the cases, CJ Gesmundo relied on his experience as a journalist at a business paper where the concept of deadlines in submitting stories is the rule of thumb.
