QUISUMBING, J. |

| As defined, grave abuse of discretion means such capricious and whimsical exercise of judgment as is equivalent to lack or excess of jurisdiction or, where the power is exercised in an arbitrary manner by reason of passion, prejudice, or personal hostility, and it must be so patent or gross as to amount to an evasion of a positive duty or to a virtual refusal to perform the duty enjoined or to act at all in contemplation of law.[25] | |||||
