The priest-in-charge and a churchwarden petitioned for a faculty for roof repairs. After an oral hearing the chancellor made findings that the petitioners had authorised the undertaking of the proposed works without a faculty despite knowing that one was required and that the DAC did not support their proposal. He further found that the petitioners had completed the petition in a misleading manner and had attempted to conceal the fact that works had already been completed. He ordered that the petitioners should each personally make a contribution of £100 towards the cost of the petition to mark the gravity of their behaviour. [RA]
