THE COURT WILL NOT SIT FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRYING MOOT CASES

It is well settled that a court will not sit for the purpose of trying moot cases and spend its time in deciding questions, the resolution of which cannot in any way affect the rights of the person or persons presenting them.

Where the issues have become moot and academic, there is no justiciable controversy, thereby rendering the resolution of the same of no practical use or value. (Delgado v. Court of Appeals, G.R. No. 137881, 19 August 2005, 467 SCRA 418, 428). (SANTIAGO CUA, JR., et. al. vs. MIGUEL OCAMPO TAN et. al., G.R. No. 181455-56, December 4, 2009, CHICO-NAZARIO, J.).
