Q. JURISDICTION OVER RES
A. It is the power of the court to hear and determine cases of the general
class to which the proceedings in question belong and by a sovereign
authority which organizes the court and defines the court and defines its
power.
A. When a court has no jurisdiction over the subject matter, the only
power it has is to dismiss the action, as an act it performs without
jurisdiction is null and void, and without any binding legal effects.

CASES:
FACTS:
RULING: YES, the VENUE was improperly laid. The death certificate of
Amado G. Garcia … how in bold documents that Amado G. Garcia's last
place of residence was at Quezon City. See: SECTION 1, R. 73
o RESIDES:
a. personal, actual or physical habitation of a person, actual
residence or place of abode
b. signifies physical presence in a place and actual stay
c. requires bodily presence as an inhabitant in a given place
i. DOMICILE: bodily presence in that place and also an

d. No particular length of time; MORE THAN TEMPORARY
FACTS:
RULING: YES, p. granted. The trial court complied with Section 3, Rule
79 of the Rules of Court by issuing the Order dated 27 January 1973. At
the initial hearing on 25 July 1973, petitioner Gonzalez established
the jurisdictional requirements by submitting in evidence proof of
publication and service of notices of the petition. Thereafter, it heard
the evidence on the qualifications and competence of Bonifacio Canonoy,
then appointed him as the administrator and finally directed that letters
of administration be issued to him, and that he takes his oath of office
after putting up a surety or property bond in the amount of P5,000.00.
Clearly, therefore, not only had the administrator and the rest of the
private respondents voluntarily submitted to the jurisdiction of the trial
court, they even expressly affirmed and invoked such jurisdiction in
praying for reliefs and remedies in their favor
it is not right for a party who has affirmed and invoked the
jurisdiction of a court in a particular matter to secure an
affirmative relief, to afterwards deny that same jurisdiction to
escape a penalty.
