Practice question
The RTC reviews an MTC judgment and issues its appellate decision. The losing party files a Rule 41 notice to the CA solely because the decision bears the RTC's name. Which assessment is correct?
- The institutional name is insufficient; the RTC exercised appellate jurisdiction, so Section 2(b)'s Rule 42 route applies.
- Every RTC ruling uses the same route.
- The appellant may freely interchange Rule 41 and Rule 42.
- The notice automatically transforms the RTC's earlier capacity.
- The clerk's office can dispense with the proper mode.
