What is the principle of Judicial Hierarchy?

This is an ordained sequence of recourse to courts vested with concurrent jurisdiction


beginning from the lowest, on to the next highest, and ultimately to the highest. This
hierarchy is determinative of the venue of appeals and is likewise determinative of the
proper forum for petitions for extraordinary writs. (Montes v. C.A., G.R. No. 143797)

What is the doctrine of non-interference or doctrine of judicial stability?

It provides that no court can interfere by injunction with the judgments or orders of another
court of concurrent jurisdiction having the power to grant the relief sought by the
injunction. (Barroso v. Omelio, G.R. No. 194767)

What is the exception to the doctrine of non-interference or doctrine of judicial


stability?

The exception is when a third-party, or a stranger to the action, asserts a claim over the
property levied upon, the claimant may vindicate his claim by an independent action in the
proper civil court which may stop the execution of the judgment on property not belonging
to the judgment debtor. (Santos v. Bayhon, G.R. No. 88643).
