DIFFERENCES OF AM NO. 03-1-09-SC FROM RULE 18 ON PRE-TRIAL FROM THE RULES OF COURT
Rule 18 does not provide for the identification and marking of evidence such that the current rule establishes the policy that no evidence
shall be allowed to be presented and offered during the trial other than those that had been earlier identified and pre-marked during the pre-trial, this
is the general rule. An exception is made when the court admits the presentation of evidence for good cause shown.
ON THE REPRESENTATIONS AND STATEMENTS MADE IN THE PRE-TRIAL BRIEFS OF EACH PARTIES
The Guidelines make the statements and representations that each party has made in their respective trial briefs have a binding effect. The
said representations and statements made in the briefs have the same effect as a judicial admission concomitant to Rule 129.
