The high court evidenced that the absence of the togado to several proceedings had been justified only orally before the judicial operator, who did not hesitate to issue copies to the disciplinary court reproaching his actions.

Precisely, he tried to leave untouched arguing that his defense strategy depended on the photographs, documents and other elements that these people had in his possession; but this excuse, lacking support to support it, joined other wielders to justify its absence.

And it is that the physical ailments and the death of a family member who invoked did not have support, such as medical disabilities or death certificates, a situation that was criticized by the corporation and reason to ensure that the conduct of the legal professional was adapted to the fault attributed (MP Julia Emma Garzón).
