The Supreme Court (SC) has cautioned trial court judges “to be temperate, patient and courteous both in conduct and language.”
It stressed that a judge “should not descend to the level of a sharp-tongued, ill-mannered petty tyrant by uttering harsh words, snide remarks and sarcastic comments.”
The SC said that while Patricio did not employ actual force in its literal sense, the threats he uttered effectively prevented or stopped the carrying out of the writ. “The judge claimed that if the fencing were to push through, there would have been a possible encroachment on a property he owns with his wife.
“The SC said that ‘even if he did not intend to take undue advantage of his title, it nevertheless gave the appearance of impropriety considering the circumstances of the case.’
