XYZ Construction Co., a private employer, had a decision of a quasi-judicial body (NLRC) denying its claim for back wages. Within the period for filing under Rule 43, XYZ filed a petition for review with the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals reviewed the NLRC record and found grave abuse in several of NLRC’s findings of fact, yet the NLRC thereafter issued a new ruling denying back wages on a different ground. Under Rule 43, what is the proper remedy for the Court of Appeals to correct the NLRC’s actions and ensure a proper disposition of the case? In your answer, indicate the forum, the appropriate scope of the Court of Appeals’ review, and what relief may be granted if grave abuse is found.
