This decision concerns a dispute within the Kidus Gabriel Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church in Ottawa regarding the legitimacy of the board of directors and control over church property.
The Applicants challenged the 2023 board election, alleging irregularities and interference by non-members aligned with a rival synod.
The court ordered a supervised special meeting to elect a new board, established a process for determining eligible voters, and mandated the reopening of the church for worship, with access for both parties pending the election.
