G.R. No. 157867 | 2009-12-15

D E C I S I O N

BRION, J.:

This petition for review on certiorari,[1] seeks to reverse and set aside the decision dated November 21, 2002 and subsequent ruling on motion for reconsideration of the Court of Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. SP No. 62325.[2] The CA decision affirmed the order of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Makati City, Branch 65,[3] dismissing the petition filed by Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company (Metrobank) for the issuance of a writ of possession of a condominium unit it had previously foreclosed. This dismissal was based on the finding that the petition contained a false certification against forum shopping.
