Rule of law deteriorated with Sereno ouster, says Commission on Jurists 630 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Jeffrey DamicogThe ouster of former Supreme Court (SC) Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno may have caused a deterioration in the country’s rule of law, an international organization said. In her 205-page motion for reconsideration, Sereno reiterated her stance why the SC en banc shouldn’t have voted in favor of granting the quo warranto petition. “Now, an impeachable officer may also be ousted via quo warranto,” Sereno lamented. They are among the eight magistrates who voted in favor of the quo warranto petition.
