MANILA, Philippines - Justice Secretary Leila De Lima and Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda have been slapped with a disbarment case before the Supreme Court(SC) for "contemptuous" utterances and remarks against Chief Justice Renato Corona.In a 5-page petition filed last January 16, lawyer Agustin Sundiam asked the high tribunal to allow the commencement of proceedings for the disbarment and/or suspension of respondents from the practice of law, and to impose disciplinary actions.Sundiam said that by "echoing" what he called "contemptuous remarks" made by President Aquino against Chief Justice Renato Corona during the 1st National Criminal Justice Summit at the Manila Hotel last December 5, De Lima and Lacierda violated the Lawyer's Oath, the Code of Professional Responsibility, and the Rules of Court in the Philippines.
