Source

    The Rules of Court (ROC) do not originate from the legislature and cannot be called laws in the strict sense. However, since they are promulgated by authority of law, they have the force and effect of law, if not in conflict with the positive law.
    The rule is subordinate to the statute and in case of conflict, the statute with prevail. (Riano citing Alvero vs. Dela Rosa)

Applicability

    Shall apply in all courts except otherwise provided by the SC.(Rule 1, Sec 2 Civ. Pro.)

Prospectivity / Retroactivity

    The ROC are not penal statutes and cannot give retroactive effects. (Bermejo vs. Barrios)
However, they may be made applicable to actions pending and undetermined at the time of their passage, and are deemed retroactive in that sense and to that extent. (Go vs. Sunbanon)
