Legal matters: Bond or no bond?

I filed a complaint before the NLRC years ago against my former employer for illegal dismissal with the help of a PAO lawyer. After several months or so the labor arbiter decided in favor of my former employer dismissing the case. My attorney then filed an appeal before the commission. A year later the commission gave the decision reversing the labor arbiter's decision with a monetary award. My former employer then filed a Motion for Reconsideration which in turn denied by the NLRC 8th Division.

My former employer is now seeking for writ of certiorary before the Court of Appeals.

Though I'm not a lawyer myself, per my understanding, to perfect an appeal the petitioner (my former employer) must post a bond or cash ( or surety ). Can you enlighten me on this?

Furthermore, if there is no bond made by my former employer am I entitled to seek a writ of execution to implement the 8th Division's decision?

I will look for your reply... Thanks.

Check first if the period to file an appeal has already lapsed, if so get a certificate of finality of judgment, then go for writ of execution.

I believe the petion for certirary is in accordance with the reglementary period of sixty days. What I would like to know is the petition for certiorary requires a bond? If not, when should the posting a bond arise?

no bond is necessary, but you can request for execution of the award already.

note however, if CA or SC reverses the nlrc, then you have to pay back what you received, if any.

Can i still request for a writ of execution pending CA court mediation?

yes

Got it.
This site is awesome!
Thanks so much!
