Cassels Brock Obtains Injunction in Anglican Church Property Dispute and Dismissal of Leave to Appeal
By Robert Kligman, Eunice Machado, S. John Page
On May 5, 2008, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted the Anglican Diocese of Niagara shared management and possession of three church properties occupied by parishes that withdrew from the Diocese in protest of the blessing of same-sex unions. On July 15, 2008, Cassels Brock successfully thwarted the attempts of the dissident parishioners to obtain leave to appeal the Court's decision.
Cassels Brock acted on behalf of the Diocese.
