Damnum sine injuria: damage without legal injury.

In law, not every harm gives rise to liability. Some losses, no matter how inconvenient or disappointing, do not violate a legal right. Understanding this distinction is essential in determining when a claim can truly stand.

A reminder that in legal disputes, the presence of actual damage is not enough; there must also be a breach of a right protected by law.

EMOTIONAL ANGUISH OR ANXIETY DUE TO BREAK UP NOT AUTOMATICALLY VAWC— SUPREME COURT

The Supreme Court (SC) held that emotional anguish and anxiety arising from a romantic breakup do not automatically constitute psychological violence punishable under Republic Act No. 9262, or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children (VAWC) Act.

In a decision penned by Associate Justice Alfredo Benjamin Caguioa, the SC's Third Division acquitted Ronel Caridaoan of violating Section 5(i) of RA 9262 filed by his former live-in partner, who claimed to have suffered emotional anguish allegedly caused by his infidelity.

The Court found that the complainant failed to establish that her emotional suffering was directly caused by Caridaoan's actions, noting that they had already broken up when he entered into another relationship.

It stressed that psychological violence under RA 9262 is a mala in se offense, which technically provides that criminal intent is an essential element of the crime.

The Supreme Court has issued a Resolution in February 2025 requiring the electronic filing and service of pleadings in annulment and nullity of marriage cases.

Through A.M. No. 25-01-13-SC, the Court expanded the coverage of Rule 13-A to include these special proceedings, noting that their processes are similar to civil actions. The amendment took effect after its publication on April 24, 2025.

This update is part of the Supreme Court’s continuing efforts to streamline and modernize court processes under the Strategic Plan for Judicial Innovations 2022–2027.

The rule of law rests on one principle: accountability applies to all. Justice works only when every person, regardless of position or privilege, is held to the same standard. A good reminder of why the law must remain fair, firm, and equal for everyone.
