Practice question: Quo Warranto (Rule 66)

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A private successful claimant seeks the separate damages action described in Section 10. Counsel computes its one-year limit from entry of the judgment establishing the claimant’s right. Is this the same triggering event as Section 11’s ordinary office-ouster accrual limit?
  1. Yes; the judgment-entry clause has no independent meaning.
  2. No; the text identifies distinct triggers for those two actions.
  3. Every damages claim is timely forever.
  4. Only the date counsel changes offices matters.
  5. The claimant may ignore both periods by labeling the case urgent.
