| In LBC Express - Metro Manila, Inc. v. Mateo,[7] the Court held that "[g]ross negligence is characterized by want of even slight care, acting or omitting to act in a situation where there is a duty to act, not inadvertently but willfully and intentionally with a conscious indifference to consequences insofar as other persons may be affected." This cannot be invoked in cases where the counsel is merely negligent in submitting his required pleadings within the period that the rules mandate. | |||||
