Practice question
An employee files a CA certiorari petition against an NLRC ruling but deliberately excludes the employer interested in sustaining it, saying the public tribunal alone must litigate the merits. Which is sound?
- The rule forbids joining the employer.
- The interested private respondent must be joined under the rule; the nominal public respondent does not replace that party.
- A tribunal always personally owns the successful party’s interest.
- Only the employer’s customer can defend the result.
- The interested party’s rights never matter.
