Practice question
After a CBAA appellate decision on real-property assessment and taxation, a party files in the CA solely because CBAA appears in the older Rule 43 agency list. The current special CTA statute otherwise governs the dispute. Which is correct?
- The old list always prevails over every later special law
- The proper review is through the CTA appellate framework under the current charter, not an ordinary CA appeal based solely on that list
- The CBAA ruling can be reviewed only by the barangay
- The ruling automatically becomes a criminal conviction
- The party may freely choose a court without statutory authority
