Noriega Vs Sison
Noriega Vs Sison
Emmanuel Sison
HELD:
No. The arguments presented by Sison are well merited and backed by
evidence. The allegations in the complaint do not warrant disbarment of Sison. There is
no evidence that Sison has committed an act constituting deceit, immoral conduct,
violation of his oath as a lawyer, willful disobedience of any lawful order of the court, or
corruptly and willfully appearing as an attorney to a part to a case without attorney to do
so. His isolated appearance for Sacquing does not constitute private practice of law,
more so since Sison did not derive any pecuniary gain for his appearance because
Sison and Sacquing were close family friends. Such act of Sison in going out of his way
to aid as counsel to a close family friend should not be allowed to be used as an
instrument of harassment against him.
