Remedial Law, 2022 Bar — Question II-2-b

ESSAY

[This item has two questions.] Fides filed a case before the Regional Trial Court (RTC) questioning the authority of the local government unit (LGU) to assess real property taxes (RPT) on a certain property she owns. She also prayed for a writ of preliminary injunction (WPI) to restrain the LGU from collecting the RPT. The LGU moved to dismiss Fides’ case arguing that since the matter involves RPT, her remedy was to file an appeal to the Local Board of Assessment Appeals. If the RTC issues an order denying the application for a WPI, and thereafter denies Fides’ subsequent motion for reconsideration, what is her remedy? Explain briefly.
