COROLLARY PRINCIPLES
Doctrine of Prior Resort – also known as
doctrine of Primary Administrative Jurisdiction where there is competence or jurisdiction vested upon on administrative body to act upon the matter, no resort to courts may be made before such administrative body shall have acted upon the matter. This rule applies only where the administrative agency execises quasi- judicial or adjudicatory functions. (UST vs, Danes Sanchez GR no. 165569 July 9, 2010) Other cases: (A) Industrial Enterprises Inc vs CA 184 SCRA 426 (B) Garcia vs CA GR no. 100579 June 06, 2001 (C) Cristobal vs CA 291 SCRA 122 (D) PAAT vs CA 266 SCRA 167 (E) Crusaders Broadcasting System vs NTC GR no. 139583 May 31, 2000 (F) Philrock vs. Construction Industry Arbitration Commission GR no. 132848 June 8, 2001 EFFECT OF FAILURE TO EXHAUST ADMINISTRATIVE REMEDIES
•The jurisdiction of the court is not affected but
complainant is deprived of a cause of action which is a ground for a motion to dismiss. However, if no motion to dismiss is filed on this ground, there is deemed to be a waiver. (Soto vs. Jareno 144 SCRA 116 Eastern Shipping Lines vs. POEA 166 SCRA 533) EXCEPTION TO THE DOCTRINE
(1) Doctrine of Qualified Political Agency (Alter Ego
Doctrine) (2) Where the Admin Agency is fruitless e.g. suit for recovery of title to office must be instituted within one year from illegal ouster otherwise the action prescribes. (3) Where there is estoppel on the part of the admin agency (Vda de Tan vs. Veterans Backpay Commission 105 Phil 377) (4) Where the issues involved is purely legal question. (Palma- Fernandez vs. Dela Paz 160 SCRA 751), (Castro vs. Sec Gloria GR no 132174 August 20, 2001), (Ty vs. Trampe 250 SCRA 500) (5) Where the administrative action is patently illegal, amounting to lack or in excess of jurisdiction.

(Republic vs Sandiganbayan 256 SCRA 438) (7) Where there is irreparable injury threat thereof, unless judicial recourse is immediately made. (De Lara vs. Cloribel 14 SCRA 269) (NFA vs CA 253 SCRA 470) (8) In land cases, where the subject matter is private land. (9) Where the law does not make exhaustion a condition precedent to judicial recourse, or where no administrative review is provided by law. (Mark James Maglalang vs. PAGCOR GR no 190566 December 11, 2013) (10) Where observance of the doctrine will result in the nullification of the claim. (11) Where there are special reasons or circumstances demanding immediate action.

(Anzaldo vs. Clave 119 SCRA 353) (Zambales Chromite vs CA 94 SCRA 261) (Pagara vs. CA 254 SCRA 606) (13) When the rule does not provide a plain, speedy and adequate remedy. (Quisumbing vs. Judge Gumban 193 SCRA 5201) (Estuerte vs CA 193 SCRA 541) Other cases: (A) Information Technology Foundation of the Philippines vs. COMELEC GR no. 159139 January 13, 2004. (B) Paat vs. CA 266 SCRA 167 JUDICIAL REVIEW OF ADMINISTRATIVE DECISIONS Rule: Except when the constitution requires or allows, judicial review may be granted or withheld as congress chooses, thus the law may provide that a determination made by an administrative agency shall be final and irrevivable. In such case there is no violation of due process. However, Sec 1 Part 2 Art. VII Philippine Constitution which provides that the judicial power includes the power of the Courts of Justice to determine whether or not there has been a grave abuse of discretion tantamount to lack or in excess of jurisdiction on the part of any agency or instrumentality of government, clearly means the judicial review of administrative decisions cannot be denied the courts when there is an allegation of grave abuse of discretion.
