Practice question
A first Rule XII petition triggers the fifteen-day section9 safeguard. The period expires with no Commission TRO or injunction restraining the listed steps. The petitioner insists that filing alone continues to block release and auction indefinitely. What does the rule provide?
- The petition creates an indefinite freeze regardless of any order
- Without the required restraint, the specified release or auction may proceed as the rule directs after the safeguard; filing is not an unlimited stay
- All money must be permanently returned to the debtor
- The Labor Arbiter must erase the final judgment
- Only a new civil trial can permit execution
