    Review On The 2000 Revised Rules On Criminal Procedure: Rule 127 Provisional Remedies in Criminal Cases

    Uploaded by

    Ivan Luzuriaga
    Rule 127 allows for provisional remedies in criminal cases similar to those available in civil cases. Provisional remedies like preliminary attachment can be granted in criminal cases to secure potential civil liability if the accused is about to abscond, conceal or dispose of property. The offended party may request attachment if the criminal action is based on claims for money or property that was embezzled, fraudulently misapplied or converted by the accused in their role as a public officer or fiduciary. The accused may claim damages for an illegal or improper attachment in the same way a defendant can in a civil case.

    Review on the 2000 Revised Rules on Rule 127

    Criminal Procedure Provisional Remedies in Criminal Cases

    Rule 127
    PROVISIONAL REMEDIES
    IN CRIMINAL CASES

    The most extensive discussion in provisional remedies is when we discuss provisional remedies
    and special civil actions in civil procedure. The main rules are from Rule 57 to 61. The concept is, if
    there are provisional remedies in civil cases, there must also be provisional remedies in criminal cases.

    EXAMPLE: Let’s go first to civil cases: Suppose you borrowed money from me and you refused to
    pay. So, I’ll file a case against you.

    Q: Can I immediately run against your properties?


    A: Not yet because the case is still pending. But if there is still sufficient property of the debtor,
    there is no problem.

    But suppose you start selling your properties everyday. By the time I win the case, you may be as
    poor as a rat. So I must do something. Under Rule 57, I can ask the court to issue preliminary
    attachment. That is provisional remedy. Some of your properties will be attached to prevent you from
    disposing. It is now my security.

    Q: Is that applicable in criminal cases?


    A: Of course. Just remember the rule, when you file a criminal case, there is a civil action which is
    deemed instituted to recover civil liability. The victim is interested for the civil liability and so, he has
    to wait for the criminal case to end. But now even if the case is going on, the accused is hiding his
    property one by one. He is trying to dispose. So, I will ask for the remedy of preliminary attachment in
    criminal cases.

    But in order that Rule 127 will apply, the condition is, the offended party has not waived the civil
    liability or has not reserved.

    SECTION 1. Availability of provisional remedies. – The provisional remedies in civil


    actions, insofar as they are applicable, may be availed of in connection with the civil action
    deemed instituted with the criminal action. (1a)

    The provisional remedies in civil actions are also available in criminal actions. You can find them
    in Rule 57 to 61. The most famous of them is the remedy of preliminary attachment. So, if there is
    attachment in civil cases, there is also in criminal cases.

    SEC. 2. Attachment.– When the civil action is properly instituted in the criminal
    action as provided in Rule 111, the offended party may have the property of the accused
    attached as security for the satisfaction of any judgment that may be recovered from the
    accused in the following cases:

    (a) When the accused is about to abscond from the Philippines;

    (b) When the criminal action is based on a claim for money or property embezzled or
    fraudulently misapplied or converted to the use of the accused who is a public officer,
    officer of a corporation, attorney, factor, broker, agent or clerk, in the course of his
    employment as such, or by any other person in a fiduciary capacity, or for a willful
    violation of duty;

    (c) When the accused has concealed, removed, or disposed of his property, or is
    about to do so; and

    (d) When the accused resides outside the Philippines. (2a)

    So, you can avail of attachment upon filing of the case or it is pending in court provided there is no
    waiver or reservation of the civil action and there should be the presence of any of the four (4)
    grounds.

    Now, you try to compare the grounds in attachment in civil cases with the grounds in criminal
    cases. If you read Rule 57, the grounds are almost the same.

    In civil cases, the defendant can ask for damages in case of an improper attachment made by the
    plaintiff, kaya nga may attachment bond eh to answer for damages.

    Criminal Procedure Provisional Remedies in Criminal Cases

    Q: Now in criminal cases, can the accused claim for damages for illegal or improper attachment
    under Rule 127?
    A: YES, the same in civil cases. And that is confirmed in Rule 119, Section 11 [b]:

    RULE 119, SEC. 11. Order of trial. – The trial shall proceed in the following order:
    xxxxx

    (b) The accused may present evidence to prove his defense and damages, if any,
    arising, from the issuance of a provisional remedy in the case.

    xxxxx

    That is the end of review on criminal procedure.
