Atty. Ephraim Serquina did not pay docket fees in his Motion for Attorney’s Fees, contending that such motion was only incidental to the probate of the will of Carmelita Farlin, he being the executor thereof. Thereafter, the heirs filed their answer and denied the claim for P68,000.00 attorney’s fees alleging that the sum agreed upon was only P7,000.00, a sum they had allegedly already paid.
The Supreme Court ruled that the court acquires jurisdiction over any case only upon payment of the prescribed docket fees. The payment of docket fees is required before the Motion for Attorney’s Fees could be validly tired.
