Chapter VIII - RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR ASSISTANCE IN CERTAIN MATTERS AND PROCEDURE FOR ATTACHMENT AND FORFEITURE OF PROPERTY (From Section 111 to Section 124)
Venue irregularity does not void criminal decisions unless it caused a failure of justice in law. Proceedings held in an incorrect local jurisdiction do not automatically invalidate criminal findings, sentences, or orders; relief is available only if the jurisdictional error has in fact occasioned a failure of justice, the operative test being whether the error produced prejudice or an actual miscarriage of justice rather than mere territorial nonconformity.
