Practice question
A private creditor files a mandamus petition in Sandiganbayan concerning a collection dispute wholly unrelated to its appellate jurisdiction or the specified executive-order cases. He relies only on seeing mandamus in Section4. Which defect matters?
- The limited writ grant’s required statutory connection is absent
- Every mandamus petition automatically belongs there
- The creditor’s preferred label creates jurisdiction
- Any private debt is automatically a graft case
- The respondent’s agreement cures the absent grant
Legal references
- RA10660 Section2, current PD1606 Section4: https://lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra2015/ra_10660_2015.html
