Judge Warns of Possible Contempt in Bankruptcy Case

April 10th, 2007

Judge Louise DeCarl Adler who is overseeing the San Diego Diocese bankruptcy case ordered the lawyers and two priests to appear in court this Wednesday. Judge Adler wants them to explain why they “should not be held in contempt for allegedly moving to transfer money as well as other actions that were prohibited while the diocese’s bankruptcy case is pending.”

“In a bluntly worded five-page order, Adler wrote that the lawyers appear to have lied to the court and that the priests have apparently lied to the parishes about the Bankruptcy Court’s orders.

Diocese and parish lawyers could not be reached for comment. The diocese office was closed for Easter.”

This isn’t the first time the diocese has been accused of trying to keep money away from the abused claimants.
