NORTHERN ISLANDS, CO., INC., Petitioner, v. SPOUSES DENNIS AND CHERYLIN* GARCIA,
DOING BUSINESS UNDER THE NAME AND STYLE “ECOLAMP MULTI RESOURCES,”, Respondents.

DECISION

PERLAS-BERNABE, J.:

Assailed in this petition for review on certiorari1 are the Decision2 dated January 19, 2012 and the
Resolution3 dated August 24, 2012 of the Court of Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. SP No. 97448, ordering the
Regional Trial Court of Quezon City, Branch 215 (RTC) to appoint a commissioner to determine the value
of the attached properties of respondents Spouses Dennis and Cherylin Garcia (respondents), and to
discharge any excessive attachment found thereby.

The Facts

DebtKollect Company, Inc.
On September 23, 2005, petitioner Northern Islands Co., Inc. (petitioner) filed a Complaint4 with
application for a writ of preliminary attachment, before the RTC against respondents, docketed as Civil
Case No. Q-05-53699 (Main Case), which was subsequently amended5 on October 25, 2005.6 It alleged
that: (a) from March to July 2004, petitioner caused the delivery to respondents of various appliances in
the aggregate amount of P8,040,825.17;7 (b) the goods were transported, shipped, and delivered by
Sulpicio Lines, Inc., and were accepted in good order and condition by respondents’ representatives;8 (c)
the parties agreed that the goods delivered were payable within 120 days, and that the unpaid amounts
would earn interest at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum;9 (d) however, the value of the goods
were not paid by respondents despite repeated demands;10 and (e) respondents fraudulently asserted
that petitioner had no proof that they had indeed received the quantity of the subject goods.11

In connection with the application for a writ of preliminary attachment, petitioner posted a bond, through
Visayan Surety and Insurance Corporation, in the amount of ?8,040,825.17. On November 7, 2005, the
RTC issued the writ sought for.12

Instead of filing an answer, respondents filed on November 11, 2001, an Urgent Motion for Extension of
Time to File Proper Pleading and Motion for Discovery (Production and Inspection)13 (November 11, 2001
Motion), asking the RTC to allow them to photocopy and personally examine the original invoices,

NATIONAL BANK, Petitioner, v. COMMISSIONER OF
delivery cargo receipts, and bills of lading attached to the Amended Complaint, claiming that they could
not “come up with an intelligent answer” without being presented with the originals of such documents.14
Thereafter, or on January 11, 2006, respondents filed a Motion to Discharge Excess Attachment,15
alleging that the attachment previously ordered by the RTC exceeded by P9,232,564.56 given that the
estimated value of the attached properties, including the garnished bank accounts, as assessed by their
appraiser, Gaudioso W. Lapaz (Lapaz), amounted to P17,273,409.73, while the attachment bond is only
in the amount of P8,040,825.17.16
In an Order17 dated February 28, 2006, the RTC denied the November 11, 2001 Motion, and, instead,
directed respondents to file their answer, which the latter complied with through the filing of their Answer
Ad Cautelam Ex Abudante with Compulsory Counterclaim18 on April 3, 2006. Despite this, respondents
again filed a Motion for Leave of Court to File Motion for Discovery (Production and Inspection)19 (Motion
for Discovery) on April 7, 2006.20
The RTC Ruling
In an Order21 dated June 21, 2006, the RTC, among others, denied the Motion to Discharge Excess
Attachment, finding that the appraisal made by Lapaz was not reflective of the true valuation of the
properties, adding too that the bond posted by petitioner stands as sufficient security for whatever
damages respondents may sustain by reason of the attachment.22
On the other hand, the RTC granted the Motion for Discovery in accordance with Rule 27 of the Rules of
Court, despite petitioner’s claim that it did not have the originals of the documents being sought.23
However, no production or inspection was conducted on July 10, 2006 as the RTC directed since
respondents received the copy of the above order only on July 11, 2006.24
On July 25, 2006, respondents filed a Motion for Partial Reconsideration of the Order dated June 21,
2006, specifically assailing the denial of their Motion to Discharge Excess Attachment. In this relation,
they prayed that the RTC refer to a commissioner, pursuant to Rule 32 of the Rules of Court, the factual
determination of the total aggregate amount of respondents’ attached properties so as to ascertain if the
attachment was excessive. Also, they prayed that the order for production and inspection be modified
and that petitioner be ordered to produce the original documents anew for their inspection and copying.
25
The foregoing motion was, however, denied by the RTC in an Order26 dated August 23, 2006 for lack of
merit. Thus, respondents elevated the matter to the CA via petition for certiorari and mandamus,27
docketed as CA-G.R. SP No. 97448 (Certiorari Case).
In the interim, the RTC rendered a Decision28 dated September 21, 2011 in the Main Case. Essentially, it
dismissed petitioner’s Amended Complaint due to the absence of any evidence to prove that respondents
had agreed to the pricing of the subject goods.29
The RTC’s September 21, 2011 Decision was later appealed30 by petitioner before the CA on October 27,
2011. Finding that the Notice of Appeal was seasonably filed, with the payment of the appropriate docket
fees, the RTC, in an Order31 dated January 25, 2012, ordered the elevation of the entire records of the
Main Case to the CA. The appeal was then raffled to the CA’s Eighth Division, and docketed as CA-G.R.
CV No. 98237. On the other hand, records do not show that respondents filed any appeal.32
The CA Ruling in the Certiorari Case
Meanwhile, the CA, in a Decision33 dated January 19, 2012, partly granted the certiorari petition of
respondents, ordering the RTC to appoint a commissioner as provided under Rule 32 of the Rules of
Court as well as the subsequent discharge of any excess attachment if so found therein, and, on the
other hand, denying respondents’ Motion for Discovery.34
It held that: (a) on the issue of attachment, trial by commissioners under Rule 32 of the Rules of Court
was proper so that the parties may finally settle their conflicting valuations;35 and (b) on the matter of
discovery, petitioner could not be compelled to produce the originals sought by respondents for
inspection since they were not in the former’s possession.36
Aggrieved, petitioner filed a Motion for Partial Reconsideration37 on February 13, 2012 but was, however,
denied in a Resolution38 dated August 24, 2012, hence, the present petition.
The Issues Before the Court
The issues presented for the Court’s resolution are: (a) whether the RTC had lost jurisdiction over the
matter of the preliminary attachment after petitioner appealed the decision in the Main Case, and
thereafter ordered the transmittal of the records to the CA; and (b) whether the CA erred in ordering the
appointment of a commissioner and the subsequent discharge of any excess attachment found by said
commissioner.
The Court’s Ruling
The petition is meritorious.
Section 9, Rule 41 of the Rules of Court provides that in appeals by notice of appeal, the court loses
jurisdiction over the case upon the perfection of the appeals filed in due time and the
expiration of the time to appeal of the other parties.
In this case, petitioner had duly perfected its appeal of the RTC’s September 21, 2011 Decision resolving
the Main Case through the timely filing of its Notice of Appeal dated October 27, 2011, together with the
payment of the appropriate docket fees. The RTC, in an Order39 dated January 25, 2012, had actually
confirmed this fact, and thereby ordered the elevation of the entire records to the CA. Meanwhile, records
do not show that respondents filed any appeal, resulting in the lapse of its own period to appeal
therefrom. Thus, based on Section 9, Rule 41, it cannot be seriously doubted that the RTC had already
lost jurisdiction over the Main Case.
With the RTC’s loss of jurisdiction over the Main Case necessarily comes its loss of jurisdiction over all
matters merely ancillary thereto. Thus, the propriety of conducting a trial by commissioners in order to
determine the excessiveness of the subject preliminary attachment, being a mere ancillary matter to the
Main Case, is now mooted by its supervening appeal in CA-G.R. CV No. 98237.
Note that in Sps. Olib v. Judge Pastoral,40 the Court, in view of the nature of a preliminary attachment,
INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent. definitively ruled that the attachment itself cannot be the subject of a separate action independent of the
principal action because the attachment was only an incident of such action, viz.:
