SC finds Gadon guilty of gross misconduct

The Court said Gadon violated the Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability, which prohibits lawyers from making false statements.'His disregard for the verification requirement in impeachment complaints shows disrespect for the impeachment process, using it to advance his personal agenda rather than air genuine and legitimate grievances,' it said in a statement on Thursday.For a member of the bar, gross misconduct is punishable by disbarment.

After investigating the case, the IBP Committee on Bar Discipline recommended that Gadon be suspended for two years for lying under oath when he claimed that Sereno falsified a Supreme Court temporary restraining order .However, it dismissed for lack of evidence the allegation of baseless cases against Supreme Court officials.The IBP Board of Governors later modified to three years the recommended period of suspension.
