Practice question
Two merchants dispute only the purchase price of delivered equipment. There is no alleged killing, disappearance or threat thereof. Does anxiety over the unpaid price make amparo proper?
- Yes, every anxious creditor qualifies.
- Yes, because money is property.
- No; the controversy described is purely commercial and outside amparo’s coverage.
- Yes, if the contract is written.
- No; amparo requires a final conviction.
