Practice question
In an RTC local-tax case within the CTA's exclusive appellate coverage, a party challenges an interlocutory order by a timely Rule 65 petition after satisfying the applicable prerequisites. It demonstrates no adequate ordinary remedy and alleges jurisdictional grave abuse. The opponent says only the CA can entertain certiorari because the statute does not expressly name that CTA power. Which is correct under Grecia-Cuerdo?
- The opponent is correct in every case.
- The CTA's authority is recognized in aid of its appellate jurisdiction despite that asserted textual objection.
- The petition automatically wins on the merits.
- The RTC loses all authority over the main case upon any allegation.
- The treasurer must decide the certiorari petition.
