M'Learned Friend Consistory Court hearings are not as informal as planning inquiries, and the Chancellor need not hear someone who merely turns up on the day. It is not surprising therefore that several Consistory Court cases in recent years have explicitly considered the extent to which the listing of a church is a material consideration that should be taken into account by the Chancellor in reaching his or her decision. The Court of Arches (or the Chancery Court of York in the northern province) is the court to which an appeal is made from a decision of a Consistory Court in every other case. www.ihbc.org.uk /context_archive/28/learned.htm   (891 words)

Re Blagdon Cemetery   (Site not responding.

The appeal was dealt with on written representations alone at the specific request of the petitioner appellant, who was seeking a faculty for exhumation of the cremated remains of his father. For a petitioner the test may give the impression that mustering support for the petition is the way to persuade the Court that exhumation would be acceptable within the notional body of right thinking members of the Church at large for the reason relied upon in the petition. www.ecclawsoc.org.uk /Blagdon.html   (5063 words)
