Oral arguments on 37 petitions which challenged the alleged unconstitutionality of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) of 2020 will be conducted by the Supreme Court (SC) starting at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Only the SC justices, the designated government lawyers and counsel of petitioners, and the amicus curiae are allowed physically inside the full court session hall.

The SC had originally set the oral arguments sometime in September last year but it decided to postpone the schedule to Jan. 19 due to various petitions filed. Last week, the SC appointed its retired member, then Associate Justice Francis H. Jardeleza – also a former Deputy Ombudsman and Solicitor General – to act as a friend of the court so he could share his knowledge and expertise on ATA, under Republic Act No. 11479, which was enacted into law last July 3 and implemented starting July 18, 2020.
