Practice question
Does every initial reference to foreign national law automatically produce a reference back to Philippine law?
- Yes; every foreign estate is automatically Philippine in substance.
- No; the relevant foreign rule and connecting facts must actually create that reference.
- Only the heir may decide whether a reference exists.
- A referral exists whenever counsel says it would be fair.
- The foreign rule is never legally relevant.
