Doctrine of adherence of jurisdiction

Doctrine of adherence of jurisdiction. 

Rem. Law. 

1. The principle that once a court has acquired jurisdiction, that jurisdiction continues until the court has done all that it can do in the exercise of that jurisdiction.  
2. The doctrine holding that [e]ven the finality of the judgment does not totally deprive the court of jurisdiction over the case. What the court loses is the power to amend, modify or alter the judgment. Even after the judgment has become final, the court retains jurisdiction to enforce and execute it [Echegaray v. Sec. of Justice, 301 SCRA 96]. 
3. Also called Doctrine of continuity of jurisdiction.
