IN fairness to the Supreme Court, it cannot be said of it that it has merely shrugged off the vexatious problem of delay in the disposition of cases. Many courts have burgeoning backlogs and the high court has written and rewritten rules, issued directives, warned and punished judges in a determined effort to bring about the easing of, if not an end to, the judicial equivalent of Manila’s fiendish traffic! Even now, there are new rules of procedure for judges to master and lawyers to learn.
