De Lima disputes court’s right to handle case vs her

A MOTION for reconsideration (MR) was filed by the legal counsel of detained Sen. Leila de Lima before the Quezon City Metropolitan Trial Court (QC-MeTC) Branch 34 that questions the jurisdiction of the court to handle her "disobedience to summons" case filed by congressional leaders.

Fhillip Sawali, de Lima's chief of staff and part of her legal team, said once the MR will be granted by QC-MeTC Branch 34 Judge Ludmila de Pio-Lim, charges filed by the Department of Justice, will be dismissed.
