SERENO, C.J.
A rule of thumb for every petition brought under Rule 65 is the unavailability of an appeal or any "plain, speedy, and adequate remedy."[34] Certiorari, prohibition, and mandamus are extraordinary remedies that historically require extraordinary facts to be shown[35] in order to correct errors of jurisdiction.[36] The law also dictates the necessary steps before an extraordinary remedy may be issued.[37] To be sure, the availability of other remedies does not always lend itself to the impropriety of a Rule 65 petition.[38] If, for instance, the remedy is insufficient or would be proven useless,[39] then the petition will be given due course.[40]
