Law of Civil Procedure

1.A petition for reconsideration shall be made through a brief filed with the court which rendered the judgment. Such brief shall indicate the judgment sought to be reconsidered, its number, date and grounds for reconsideration. The court administration shall, on the date of deposit, enter the brief in the relevant record. If the judgment is affirmed by the Supreme Court or court of appeals, the court which rendered the judgment shall refer the petition for reconsideration to the court which has affirmed the judgment to consider the petition. The court shall, as the case may be, issue a decision granting or denying the petition for reconsideration. If the petition is granted, the case shall be considered by the court which rendered the judgment and shall notify the parties thereof. If the petition is denied, the petitioner may object to such denial in accordance with applicable procedures, unless the decision was rendered by the Supreme Court. 2.Filing a petition for reconsideration shall not stay execution of judgment. Nonetheless, the court considering said petition may order stay of execution of judgment if petitioned to do so and if execution of said judgment would result in grave and irreparable harm. If the court orders stay of execution, it may require a security or a solvent guarantor, or whatever it deems appropriate, to protect the rights of the respondent.
