Practice question
The Secretary validly assumes an industrial dispute. A party then asks for a binding determination of an unrelated private land-title controversy with no reasonable connection to that dispute and no independent jurisdictional basis. Which is sound?
- Assumption gives unlimited jurisdiction over all private property disputes.
- Incidental jurisdiction does not establish the requested unrelated authority merely because assumption occurred.
- Every controversy involving one party automatically becomes incidental.
- No connection to the labor dispute is necessary.
- A labor-dispute order automatically transfers all judicial jurisdiction.
