Scenario: A call-center agent employed by an outsourcing agency is assigned to a telecom company and is classified by the NLRC as an independent contractor under a service contract. The agent files an illegal dismissal complaint, but NLRC dismisses for lack of employer–employee relationship. The agent then files a petition for certiorari under Rule 65 with the Court of Appeals, alleging grave abuse of discretion. The Court of Appeals grants the petition, annuls NLRC’s dismissal, and remands the case to NLRC for proper disposition. Is the Court of Appeals’ action proper? Explain using the controlling rule and apply to the facts.

Choose the Best Answer

Yes; The Court of Appeals’ action is proper because the petition challenges grave abuse in the NLRC’s application of the law to the facts and may remand for re-evaluation of the employee status. No; Ordinary appeal under Rule 43 is the exclusive remedy from NLRC decisions, so certiorari under Rule 65 cannot be used to challenge NLRC rulings on employer–employee status. Yes; The Court of Appeals correctly entertained a Rule 65 petition alleging grave abuse of discretion and may annul NLRC's dismissal and remand for proper disposition. No; The remedy of certiorari is available only when the NLRC’s decision is final and executory, not for interlocutory dispositions.
