    13 Alva v. High Capacity Security Force

    Uploaded by

    Bhianca Ruth Mauricio
    Petitioner filed a complaint against his former employer for illegal dismissal and other claims. The labor arbitrator and labor relations commission awarded petitioner attorney's fees even though he was represented by a public attorney's office. The court of appeals removed the attorney's fees, but the Supreme Court ruled that attorney's fees should be granted to public attorney's offices to compensate them for providing free legal aid, and that such fees should be awarded in wage claims cases. The fees will be deposited with the national treasury to fund special allowances for public attorney's office officials and lawyers.

    Alva v. High Capacity Security Force Inc.

    G.R. No. 203328


    November 8, 2017

    FACTS:
    Petitioner filed for a complaint for illegal dismissal, other monetary claims and attorney’s fees
    against the respondent. He was assisted by a lawyer of PAO. LA and NLRC awarded him the
    attorney’s fees but the CA deleted the same noting that petitioner was represented by PAO.

    ISSUE:
    Whether or not CA erred in deleting the attorney’s fees

    RULING:
    Yes. The fees shall be awarded to PAO as a token to recompense for the free legal services to
    litigants who have no means of hiring a private lawyer. In actions for recovery of wages, the
    award of attorney’s fees is legally and morally justifiable. The same shall be deposited in the
    National Treasury and shall be disbursed for special allowances of officials and lawyers of PAO.
