Not every error or mistake committed by the judge in the exercise of his adjudicative functions will make him liable, unless his act is tainted with bad faith or a deliberate intent to do an injustice. To hold a judge administratively liable for gross ignorance of the law, his decisions/orders must not only be contrary to existing law or jurisprudence, but must also be motivated by bad faith, fraud, dishonesty or corruption.
