Practice question
A petitioner seeks habeas data solely against private records in a qualifying case and invokes Sandiganbayan’s Section3 authority only because that court is named in the rule. No public data files of government offices are involved. Which defect must be addressed?
- The named additional-forum clause has a public-government-file condition
- The court’s name alone covers every database
- Private records necessarily are public government files
- Party agreement removes every filing condition
- Concurrent authority in one category makes all categories concurrent
