Case Status

A party close to the St Mary's legal action calls the process "more Byzantine than Byzantium". The judgment, which is separate from the decision, was signed on December 15. The judge has awarded the vestry the full possession of the corporate property, both the church and the adjacent commercial building. The ACA is named as losing "all control or presence". A writ of possession for the full parish property is expected to be signed today. Lancaster & Anastasia have already filed a notice of appeal. (Checking the link, I see that you need to enter a case number to view the record, which simply notes that the notice has been filed. The case number is 12U07875.)

Exactly when the vestry will be able to enter the property is still up in the air. When this happens, God willing, I expect to accompany the vestry with a camera to record the condition of the property.
