In a civil matter before a trial court, Attorney A represents Client C in a scheduled 9:00 AM hearing on a pending motion. The court commences at 9:00 AM and matters are discussed on the record; Attorney A arrives at 9:15 AM. The judge continues the proceedings and later issues a ruling adverse to Client C. Which option best analyzes the situation with respect to CPRA Canon IV, Sec. 3 (second sentence) on punctuality, and the potential consequences and defenses?

Choose the Best Answer

No; punctuality is a flexible standard that allows reasonable delays if the attorney is ready to proceed and there is no demonstrated prejudice to the opposing party. No; Canon IV Sec. 3 applies only to appearances before the Supreme Court and not to trial courts in civil matters. Yes; the late appearance constitutes a violation of punctuality, and the court must automatically adjourn and grant relief from the ruling for lack of punctuality. Yes; Attorney A's late appearance violated the duty of punctuality; CPRA allows disciplinary or remedial actions for tardiness; excusable neglect may be raised if proven with credible cause and proper notice, but it does not erase the violation.
