The Supreme Court (SC) on Monday said court operations were suspended in several areas on 10 November due to the inclement weather brought by Super Typhoon Uwan.

The high tribunal said the work suspension covers the Regional Trial Court (RTC) Office of the Clerk of Court (OCC), RTC Branches 63 and 74, and the Municipal Trial Court in Cities (MTCC) in La Carlota City, Negros Occidental; RTC Branches 68 and 6 (Family Court) in Dumangas; the Municipal Trial Court (MTC) in Barotac Nuevo; and the Municipal Circuit Trial Court (MCTC) Pototan-Mina in Iloilo.

The SC said in an advisory that the filing of time-bound pleadings and the issuance of time-bound resolutions and decisions are suspended until normal court operations resume.

Exempted from this are matters requiring immediate court action such as applications for bail, release orders, and writs of habeas corpus.

Malacañang on Sunday announced the suspension of government work in nine regions on 10 November, and classes in 12 regions on 10 to 11 November due to Typhoon Uwan.

Signal No. 4 remained hoisted over eight areas in Luzon even as Uwan exited the Luzon landmass early Monday.

On the other hand, all courts in Talisay City, Cebu also suspended work from 10 to 11 November due to the aftermath of Typhoon Tino (international name: Kalmaegi).
