The court determined who was entitled to vote at a membership meeting to elect a new Board of Directors for a not-for-profit incorporated church.
Following a schism and a disputed 2023 election, the parties agreed to hold a new election but disagreed on the membership list.
The court held that the 2023 election was invalid and that all members admitted prior to the 2023 election who had not resigned, including those with unpaid dues and the respondent priests, were entitled to vote, as the corporation's by-laws lacked a mechanism for automatic expulsion.
