Although the general rule is that the negligence of counsel binds the client,[16] the rule is not without an exception.  Petitioners rely on the case of Aceyork Aguilar vs. Court of Appeals[17] wherein the court relaxed the rule to prevent miscarriage of justice.  We find no such prejudice to petitioners caused by the failure of their counsel.
