Cabrera v.

Agustin

Facts:
Cabrera files a disbarment complaint against Atty Agustin on the ground of
immorality after the latter enticed her to have carnal knowledge with him making her
believe that they are married civilly.

Issue:
WON the conduct of Atty. Agustin warrants a disciplinary action.

Held:
Yes. The conduct of Atty. Agustin warrants a disciplinary action.
In a long line of cases, the Supreme Court held that it is a continuing requirement
for a lwayer to have good moral character.
In the case at bar, the act of Atty. Agustin clearly shows that he committed
immorality violative of his good moral character.
Hence, such conduct calls for a disciplinary action on the part of the Court.
