amendment of the pro-forma
complaint form could no
longer be done since the
filing of position paper is
already due?
Include in the statement of facts and arguments all
matters pertaining to the excluded cause of action.
Then justify the inclusion by citing the following:
A party’s cause of action should be ascertained not
from a reading of his/her complaint alone but also
from a consideration and evaluation of both his/her
complaint and position paper. (Our Haus Realty
Development Corporation v. Parian, 732 SCRA 351;
Samar-Med Distribution v. NLRC (701 SCRA 148).
The parties could allege and present
evidence to prove any cause or
causes of action included, not only in
the complaint, but in the position
papers as well. (Dee Jay’s Inn and
Café v. Ma. Lorina Rañeses, G.R. No.
191823, October 5, 2016)
