Practice question
A party challenges an agency’s license calculation. Resolving the claim requires disputed measurements and the agency offers an effective review procedure capable of correcting them. The petition labels every issue pure law but concedes the factual determinations are indispensable. No other exception applies. Which assessment is best?
- The label necessarily establishes the pure-law exception
- Every factual dispute is a constitutional amendment
- The court must examine substance; indispensable unresolved facts are not converted into a purely legal question by a label
- Exhaustion is abolished for license cases
- The agency’s final answer must be presumed correct forever
