Practice question
A challenger seeks cancellation of a party-list group's registration solely through Rule 5 Section 1 by alleging prohibited conduct of the organization, without any false qualification representation by an individual nominee. Which distinction is essential?
- All group registration and nominee questions are one indivisible remedy.
- The caption alone makes every asserted ground sufficient.
- Proof against a group automatically proves every nominee lied.
- A nominee can never be the subject of a separate proceeding.
- Rule 5 Section 1 targets qualification misrepresentation by nominees; group registration or participation challenges have their own governing grounds and procedure.
