| Thus, anything less than is required by Section 1(a) of Rule 116 constitutes gross ignorance of the law.[40] There is gross ignorance of the law when the error committed by the judge was "gross or patent, deliberate or malicious."[41] It may also be committed when a judge ignores, contradicts or fails to apply settled law and jurisprudence because of bad faith, fraud, dishonesty or corruption.[42] Gross ignorance of the law or incompetence cannot be excused by a claim of good faith.[43] | |||||
