    Uploaded by

    Camille Bugtas
    This document outlines the requirements for filing a pre-trial brief in court. It states that the pre-trial brief must be filed at least 3 days before the pre-trial. It should contain: a statement of willingness to settle; a summary of agreed facts; the issues to be tried; documents to be presented; and a list of witnesses and their testimonies. Failure to file the pre-trial brief has the same effect as failing to appear at the pre-trial, which could result in a complaint being dismissed if the plaintiff fails to file, or allowing the plaintiff to present evidence without the defendant if the defendant fails to file.

    PRE- TRIAL BRIEF

    GROUP 12 / CLAIRE L. BELTRAN


    WHEN MUST THE PRE-TRIAL BRIEF BE FILED

    ▸ A pre-trial brief must be filed at least three (3) days before


    the pre-trial.

    ▸ Meaning that, at least three (3) days before the pre-trial,


    the pre-trial brief must have already been filed and served
    on the adverse party.
    WHAT SHOULD BE CONTAINED IN THE PRE-TRIAL BRIEF?
    ▸ The pre-trial brief shall contain the following matters:

    ▸ 1. A statement of their willingness to enter into an amicable settlement or


    alternative modes of dispute resolution, indicating the desired terms thereof;

    ▸ 2. A summary of admitted facts and proposed stipulation of facts;

    ▸ 3. The issues to be tried or resolved;

    ▸ 4. The documents or exhibits to be presented, stating the purposes thereof;

    ▸ 5. A manifestation of their having availed of or their intention to avail of the


    discovery procedures or referral to commissioners; and

    ▸ 6. The number and names of the witnesses, and the substance of their
    respective testimonies
    WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF FAILURE TO FILE A PRE-TRIAL BRIEF?

    ▸ The failure to file the pre-trial brief shall have the same
    effect as failure to appear at the pre-trial (Sec. 6, Rule 18,
    Rules of Court).

    ▸ Hence, if it is the plaintiff who fails to file a pre-trial brief,


    his complaint may be dismissed. If it is the defendant who
    fails to do so, such failure shall be a cause to allow the
    plaintiff to present his evidence ex parte.
