RULE 34 <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

JUDGMENT ON THE PLEADINGS <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Section 1. Judgment on the pleadings. <\/em>\u2013 Where an answer fails to tender an issue, or otherwise admits the material allegations of the adverse party\u2019s pleading, the court may, on motion of that party, direct judgment on such pleading. However, in actions for declaration of nullity or annulment of marriage or for legal separation, the material facts alleged in the complaint shall always be proved. (1) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Section 2. Action on motion for judgment on the pleadings. <\/em>\u2014 The court may motu proprio <\/em>or on motion render judgment on the pleadings if it is apparent that the answer fails to tender an issue, or otherwise admits the material allegations of the adverse party\u2019s pleadings. Otherwise, the motion shall be subject to the provisions of Rule 15 of these Rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any action of the court on a motion for judgment on the pleadings shall not be subject of an appeal or petition for certiorari<\/em>, prohibition or mandamus<\/em>. (n) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
