Marcayda vs. Naz Digest
NAZ
A.M. No. 1856
October 28, 1983
FACTS:
RULING:
NO. The Court ruled that Naz is not guilty of gross immorality. He should not be
disbarred because he had admitted the paternity of Rey in a public document and agreed to
support him. This circumstance rendered his immorality not so gross and scandalous. But his
stand of not giving any value to that public document shows a certain unscrupulousness
unbecoming a member of a noble profession. It is tantamount to self-stultification. Thus, he
was severely reprimanded for his attempt to nullify the notarial agreement to support a child
whose filiation he had admitted.
