Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction and Care of Churches Measure 2018

ਸਾਰ

The Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction and Care of Churches Measure 2018 consolidated and reformed the law governing ecclesiastical courts and the faculty jurisdiction in the Church of England. It replaced the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1963 and the Care of Churches and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1991. The Measure governs the Consistory Courts, the faculty system (ecclesiastical planning permission for changes to church buildings), clergy discipline, and appeals to the Court of Arches (Canterbury) and Chancery Court (York).

ਮੁੱਖ ਨੁਕਤੇ

• Faculty jurisdiction — any alteration to a church building, its contents, or churchyard requires a faculty (ecclesiastical permission) from the Consistory Court
• Consistory Court — the bishop's court in each diocese, presided over by the Chancellor (a senior lawyer appointed by the bishop)
• Lists A and B — certain minor works are either unrestricted (List A) or require only archdeacon approval (List B), without a full faculty
• Clergy discipline — provides for proceedings against clergy for misconduct, with sanctions ranging from rebuke to removal from office
• Court of Arches (Canterbury) and Chancery Court (York) — appellate courts for faculty and discipline cases
• The Church of England's faculty jurisdiction operates alongside secular planning and listed building controls — both may apply
