Lawmaker urges judge
to inhibit self from case |
|
Rep. Padilla noted that the Appeals Court stopped
Judge Austria from enforcing questionable decision
|
|
A veteran lawmaker over the weekend urged a
controversial Batangas City Regional Trial Court judge to inhibit
herself from the rehabilitation case of Steel Corporation of the
Philippines (SCP) even as he noted that the Court of Appeals has
already stopped the judge from enforcing a management committee to
act on the complaints of the steel company.
Nueva Vizcaya Rep. Carlos Padilla Jr.. said
Judge Maria Cecilia Austria of Branch 2 of the Batangas Regional
Trial Court should now seriously consider inhibiting from the
rehabilitation case even as an associate justice in the Court of
Appeals had already inhibited himself in response to a petition by
lawyers of SCP.
