Practice question
In a labor case, a party seeks to import a civil-court device that conflicts with an express NLRC provision and would frustrate the specialized procedure. He invokes RuleI Section3 without identifying any gap. Which is best?
- The word suppletory always requires acceptance
- Every civil device is automatically practicable
- The proposed use fails the gap and compatibility inquiry; the applicable NLRC provision cannot be bypassed by that label
- The labor tribunal becomes a civil trial court
- A specialized tribunal can never consider any general procedural principle
