Practice question
What did Bayyo conclude about taxpayer standing where the challenged provision did not involve public-fund disbursement and no illegal expenditure was alleged?
- Standing necessarily existed because petitioners paid taxes.
- Every merits allegation was therefore proven.
- The case did not qualify as a taxpayer's suit.
- Every transport regulation was declared unconstitutional.
- The Court awarded petitioners a tax refund.
