律师会因厌女和性别歧视言论而被吊销律师资格吗?

加布里埃拉党众议员Sarah Elago已就一名律师对她的所谓厌女言论,向其提出吊销律师资格的投诉。这引发了律师是否会因使用此类语言而丧失执照的疑问。2023年,最高法院因律师Larry Gadon的性别歧视和侮辱性言论而吊销其执照。

3月11日,众议员Sarah Elago向菲律宾综合律师公会(IBP)律师纪律委员会提出投诉,针对一名未具名律师,该律师与Ferdinand Topacio对她的言论有关。在一个广播节目中,Topacio为奎松市众议员Bong Suntay辩护,后者因对女演员Anne Curtis的幻想评论而受到批评。Topacio还声称,当她还是Kabataan代表时,他曾“渴望”她。“他们想做什么就做什么,我也会做我想做的。那就是民主,”他表示。 根据法院规则第138条第27款,吊销律师资格的理由包括严重不当行为、严重不道德行为以及违反律师誓言,如欺诈、渎职以及涉及道德败坏的犯罪定罪。该程序可通过向最高法院(SC)或IBP提出投诉启动,或由SC主动启动,根据规则139-B。 一个关键先例是2023年Larry Gadon案,SC大法庭一致以15-0票吊销其律师资格,因其对记者Raissa Robles使用“厌女、性别歧视、侮辱性和反复的无节制语言”。“执业律师的特权仅赋予那些在智识、学术上胜任且同样重要的是道德上胜任的个人。这一高贵职业中没有厌女和性别歧视的容身之地,”SC表示。该决定指出,律师必须避免在公共或私人生活中引起丑闻的行为。 Gadon违反了2023年生效的《职业责任与问责法典》(CPRA)第二典,该典要求端庄并使用尊严的、性别公平的语言。这包括避免在任何形式的沟通中使用虐待、骚扰和冒犯性语言。
