Source excerpt
The DLHT wrongly invoked its powers of revision during execution proceedings to nullify the trial tribunal's decision based on non-joinder of parties. Such objections challenge the competency of the decision and should be raised before the trial tribunal or on appeal, not in execution proceedings.

The court held that it is functus officio regarding the preliminary objection on non-joinder and misjoinder, as these grounds were already determined in a previous ruling which remains valid and binding.

Source excerpt
The trial tribunal erred by raising and deciding on the issue of non-joinder of an administrator at the judgment stage after the parties had closed their cases, which occasioned injustice to the appellant. The tribunal should have proceeded to compose and deliver judgment based on the evidence on record.
