Practice question
The Supreme Court sanctions a change of venue and the same criminal case is lawfully transferred to another RTC. The receiving court, now vested with the case, considers an interlocutory order within its lawful authority. A party says judicial stability bars any action solely because a different branch issued an earlier order. Which is best?
- A lawful transfer freezes the entire case permanently
- The receiving court can never use any inherent power
- The doctrine must account for the sanctioned transfer of the same case; it is not automatically a separate coequal court’s collateral interference
- Any private transfer request suffices to change jurisdiction
- The new branch may ignore all substantive and procedural limits
