CIR v. Getz Pharma (Phils.), Inc.

CTA EB NO. 2316

May 16, 2022

Doctrine:

It is well-settled that a Motion for Reconsideration containing a mere

rehash of grounds and arguments that have already been considered and

resolved by the Court before the Decision sought to be reconsidered is

rendered does not need a new judicial determination.

Facts:

For the Court's resolution is petitioner's Motion for Reconsideration• ("Motion"), filed via registered mail on 28 February 2022 and received by the Court on 9 March 2022, with respondent's Comment (Re: Motion for Reconsideration dated February 28, 2022)2 ("Comment"), filed on 4 April 2022. In his Motion, petitioner seeks the reversal and setting aside of this Court's Decision3 ("Assailed Decision").

Issue:

Whether or not the motion for reconsideration should be granted.

Held: 

No. It is well-settled that a Motion for Reconsideration containing a mere rehash of grounds and arguments that have already been considered and resolved by the Court before the Decision sought to be reconsidered is rendered does not need a new judicial determination.9 The Court need not "cut and paste" pertinent portions of the Decision or re-write the ponencia in accordance with the outline of the Motion for Reconsideration. Therefore, there is no necessity to discuss and rule again on these grounds since this would be a useless formality of ritual invariably involving merely a reiteration of the reasons for rejecting the arguments advanced by the movant already set forth in the judgment.
