SUGARSTEEL INDUSTRIAL, INC. AND MR. BEN YAPJOCO, PETITIONERS, VS. VICTOR ALBINA, VICENTE UY AND ALEX VELASQUEZ, RESPONDENTS.

G.R. No. 168749 | 2016-06-06

D E C I S I O N
 
BERSAMIN, J.:
 
The crux of this appeal is the extent of the authority of the Court of Appeals (CA) to review in a special civil action for certiorari the findings of fact contained in the rulings of the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC). The petitioners insist that the CA's review is limited to the determination of whether or not the NLRC committed grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction; hence, it cannot disregard the findings of fact of the NLRC to resolve the issue of illegal dismissal. The respondents maintain the contrary.

On appeal is the decision...
