QBE INSURANCE PHILS. v. JUDGE CELSO D. LAVIÑA
CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
As can be seen, the law involved is simple and elementary; lack of conversance therewith constitutes gross ignorance of the law. Judges are expected to exhibit more than just cursory acquaintance with statutes and procedural laws. They must know the laws and apply them properly in all good faith. Judicial competence requires no less.[20]
