DADULO Vs
CA
Well-settled is the rule that procedural laws are construed to be
applicable to actions pending and undetermined at the time of their
passage, and are deemed retroactive in that sense and to that extent.
As a general rule, the retroactive application of procedural laws
cannot be considered violative of any personal rights because no
vested right may attach to nor arise therefrom.
LUPANGCO vs. CA
Quasi-judicial is defined as a term applied to the action,
discretion, etc., of public administrative officers or bodies
required to investigate facts, or ascertain the existence of
facts, hold hearings, and draw conclusions from them, as a
basis for their official action, and to exercise discretion of
a judicial nature. To expound thereon, quasi-judicial adjudication
would mean a determination of rights, privileges and duties resulting
in a decision or order which applies to a specific situation . This
does not cover rules and regulations of general applicability issued
by the administrative body to implement its purely administrative
policies and functions like Resolution No. 105 which was adopted by
the respondent PRC as a measure to preserve the integrity of
licensure examinations.
JURISDICTION - the competence of an office or body to act on a

sufficient that substantive due process requirement of fairness and
reasonableness be observed.
RES JUDICATA
While the present case and the administrative case are based on the
same essential facts and circumstances, the doctrine of res judicata
will not apply.
There is no identity of causes of action in the cases. While
identity of causes of action is not required in the application of
res judicata in the concept of conclusiveness of judgment, it is
required that there must always be identity of parties in the
first and second cases.
