Facts: StellarTech Corp., a private corporation, sues in the Regional Trial Court for breach of contract and damages. The RTC denies StellarTech's motion for summary judgment. StellarTech then files a petition for certiorari with the Court of Appeals under Rule 65, contending grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction in the RTC's ruling. (a) Is this action ordinary or special? (b) State the controlling rule that distinguishes ordinary actions from special actions and name the kinds of actions that fall into each category. (c) Apply the rule to the facts: identify the proper classification, the forum, and the remedy if the petition is granted, and explain any pleading and procedural implications.
