Practice question: Suppletory Application of the Rules of Court in Administrative Bodies

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

An agency’s valid rules expressly allow compatible Rules of Court supplementation on a matter they do not address. A court procedure appropriately fills that gap without conflicting with the statute. Which is best?
  1. Supplementation is impossible in all agencies
  2. All court procedures must therefore apply in every agency case
  3. The agency loses its jurisdiction by using a court rule
  4. The litigant may ignore notice requirements
  5. The compatible gap-filling use is consistent with the stated suppletory authority
