Practice question
A party alleges only that the RTC misinterpreted a contract after a fair trial within its jurisdiction. Ordinary appeal was available but deliberately abandoned. Which is best?
- Every legal mistake is extrinsic fraud
- The party may always reopen under Rule47
- A new caption creates lack of jurisdiction
- All contract judgments are unreviewable
- An ordinary judgment error and abandoned appeal do not by themselves satisfy Rule47’s exceptional grounds and no-fault condition
Legal references
- Rule47 Sections1–2; G.R.256612, main decision: https://lawphil.net/judjuris/juri2023/jun2023/gr_256612_2023.html
