In SINGLE-SALA STATIONS, the Presiding Judges are ex officio Executive Judges, unless in the interest of the service their salas are merged with multi-sala stations for purposes of supervision. Whenever the ex officio Executive Judge is absent or otherwise incapacitated to discharge the functions of his office, the Executive Judge of the nearest station in the region shall temporarily act as Executive Judge until the return of the ex officio Executive Judge or the detail by this Court of another judge who will then be Acting Executive Judge.
In MULTI-SALA STATIONS with two (2) branches, when the Executive Judge is absent or otherwise incapacitated, the only remaining judge in the station shall act as Executive Judge. If both judges are absent or otherwise incapacitated to discharge the duties of Executive Judge, the Executive Judge of the nearest station in the region shall temporarily act as executive Judge until the return of the Executive Judge or the detail by this Court of another judge who will then be Acting Executive Judge.
In MULTI-SALA STATIONS with three (3) or more branches, when the Executive Judge is absent or otherwise incapacitated to discharge his duties as such and no Vice Executive Judge has been appointed, or if one has been appointed but is likewise absent or otherwise incapacitated, the judge who is most senior among the permanent Judges in the station, or if there be none, the most senior in tenure in the judiciary, shall temporarily act as Executive Judge. If there be two (2) or more judges of equal seniority in the station, the judge who is the most senior in age shall act as Executive Judge.
The subsequent imposition upon an Executive Judge or Vice Executive Judge of the penalty of at least a reprimand in any case shall automatically operate to divest him of the position.
Any question as to who may discharge the duties of an Executive Judge not otherwise covered herein shall be referred to the Court for resolution.
