Practice question
A relevant foreign provision is properly proved and differs from Philippine law. The court otherwise determines it is applicable and no public-policy or mandatory-law obstacle exists. A party asks the court to use processual presumption solely because the party prefers the Philippine outcome. Which is best?
- The failure-of-proof presumption cannot simply replace the properly established applicable rule on preference alone.
- Every unfavorable proved rule must be deemed unproved.
- A litigant may freely select whichever result is larger.
- Proof of foreign law is never legally possible.
- The court must always ignore every foreign provision.
