ENFORCEMENT AND




                  ADJUDICATION DIVISION







                  A crucial role that the BPLD plays is to ensure that orders are enforced, and if problems arise, properly addressed. This
                  is the part of the Enforcement and Adjudication Division.


                  There are two sections under this: 1) Enforcement Section and 2) Adjudication Section
                  The Enforcement Section is responsible for serving directives, summons, orders and other relative issuances. It also
                  implements Cease and Desist Orders and Closure Orders to erring business establishments. These are compiled by the
                  Section into a periodic report submitted to their heads.
                  The role of the Adjudication Section is to adjudicate violations of business establishments in the conduct of their
                  business operation and other legal matters that involve compliance with the Quezon City Revenue Code and other
                  applicable laws, ordinances, issuances, and rules and regulations.
                  It also prepares demand letters, cease and desist orders, revocation, cancellation notices, closure orders, and other
                  correspondences and reports. Part of its role is to also evaluate and monitor compliances submitted by business
                  establishments pertaining to summons and orders issued.
                  Aside from providing technical assistance to the BPLD Head, the Section is responsible in filing dockets and other legal
                  references pertinent to the conduct of business, procedure and process of securing permits as well as documents of
                  legal nature. In case further evaluation or action is needed, the Adjudication Section refers cases to the City Legal
                  Department.
