69. Sec. 26, Rule 138 of the Rules of Court states the
proper procedure for the withdrawal of a lawyer as counsel in
a case. It provides that:
Similarly in Uy v. Tansinsin, 47 we
ruled that a lawyer’s failure to file
the required pleadings and to
inform his client about the
developments in her case fell below
the standard and amounted to a
violation of Rule 18.03 of the Code
of Professional Responsibility. We
emphasized the importance of the
lawyers’ duty to keep their clients
adequately and fully informed about the
developments in their cases, and held
that a client should never be left in
the dark, for to do so would be to

confidence reposed in the retained
lawyer and in the legal profession

BECAUSE A LAWYER-CLIENT
RELATIONSHIP IS ONE OF TRUST AND
CONFIDENCE, THERE IS A NEED FOR
THE CLIENT TO BE ADEQUATELY AND
FULLY INFORMED ABOUT THE
DEVELOPMENTS IN HIS CASE. A CLIENT

THE DARK; TO ALLOW THIS SITUATION IS
TO DESTROY THE TRUST, FAITH, AND
CONFIDENCE REPOSED IN THE
RETAINED LAWYER AND IN THE LEGAL
PROFESSION IN GENERAL.49
