Gadon suspended 3 months

The Supreme Court has ordered the suspension of defeated senatorial candidate Larry Gadon from the practice of law over a strongly-worded letter to a doctor which tended to undermine the justice system in the country.

The SC order was dated 26 June, 2019 and was for a period of three months, the service of which was not clear as of posting. It stemmed from his letter as an officer of a mall-based healthcare facility.

In the letter written on 23 April 2009, Gadon seemingly wanted the dermatologist out of the facility by saying they can hire a doctor of the same specialization as competitor.

He then boasted of having connections in court as he told the dermatologist that he or she may win against the healthcare facility, but only after the case has dragged on for eight to 10 years.

“Atty. Gadon’s remarks about the slow justice system and insinuations that cases are won based on abundance of resources, tramp the integrity and dignity of the legal profession and the judicial system and adversely reflect on his fitness to practice law,” the SC said in its ruling.
