SUPREME Court Associate Justice Marvic Leonen has elevated to the en banc his letter complaint against The Manila Times for running a story about his “misbehavior” at a recent convention in The Hague, Netherlands.

In the story published on June 17, the Times reported that Leonen, the court’s most junior magistrate, drew the ire of his colleagues for his “tantrums” directed at the American Bar Association (ABA), which organized the 10th International Judicial Coloquium on Insolvency from May 18 to 19.
