FT. WORTH: Bishop Iker Responds to Property Inspections by Rump Diocese
FT. WORTH: Bishop Iker Responds to Property Inspections by Rump Diocese
Main lawsuit continues. Plaintiffs request opportunity to inspect Diocese and corporation Property
March 12, 2011
When the Diocese realigned in November 2008, a small minority of our members elected to leave their churches to worship elsewhere. The following April, the Diocese was sued on behalf of those people, and two years later we are still in the midst of what will be a precedent-setting case to defend our property under Texas law.
In the weeks since our last court hearing, on Feb. 8, our lawyers have been conferring and negotiating with the plaintiffs' attorneys over the terms surrounding Judge John Chupp's Jan. 21 ruling, which favored the plaintiffs. Since the Jan. 21 ruling did not dispose of the case, the parties are engaged in a process of "discovery" which permits them to obtain and examine one another's records. Some of the documents requested by the plaintiffs previously have been delivered to them for inspection, and other documents currently are being prepared.
