    The NLRC originally decided in favor of the petitioner in a case regarding an employee's dismissal. However, the NLRC later abandoned its original decision and ruled in favor of the private respondent instead. The Supreme Court held that the NLRC did not abuse its discretion by abandoning its original decision, as courts have the inherent power to amend their decisions, especially if they determine an error was previously made.

    INTRODUCTION TO LAW: CASE DIGESTS

    (ARRANGED ACCORDING TO TOPIC)


    ABANDONMENT

    VITARICH VS. NLRC


    GR 121905, MAY 20, 1999

    FACTS:

    Private respondent was dismissed by petitioner due to the loss of trust


    and confidence. This prompted the private respondent to file a case
    against petitioner for illegal dismissal. The Labor Arbiter decided in
    favor of the private respondent, finding that there was indeed illegal
    dismissal and absence of due process (as private respondent was
    never informed through notice). This was appealed by the petitioner to
    the NLRC, which decided in their favor but later on abandoned its
    original decision, in favor of the private respondent.l

    ISSUE:
    Whether or not the NLRC committed an abuse of discretion in
    abandoning its original decision?

    HELD:

    No, the NLRC didn’t commit any abuse of discretion. Courts have
    the inherent power to control and amend its processes and orders as to
    make it comformable to law and justice, which includes the right to
    amend its decisions, especially if it is its honest opinion that it
    committed an error.
