Practice question
A party lets its adequate appeal expire through its own deliberate choice. It then files certiorari, repeats only ordinary interpretation errors, and argues that the absence of an appeal now satisfies Rule65. No recognized exception is established. Which is best?
- Losing the appeal by that choice does not convert ordinary errors into a proper certiorari case
- Expiration automatically creates certiorari jurisdiction over every merits issue
- Every final judgment is necessarily void after appeal expires
- The petition must be granted because it is verified
- No judicial decision can ever be reviewed for grave abuse
