  Jehovah's Witnesses have tried - and failed - to get an advance copy of the Abuse in Care Inquiry's final report into their church.

  The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses Australasia (CCJWA) filed an urgent claim in the High Court in Auckland on 21 June to obtain a copy of the final case study relating to the religious denomination in the inquiry's report, but the claim was dismissed.

  It also unsuccessfully sought all relevant underlying documents supporting the case study.

  Good , the Org wants to buy time to prepare some sort of "defense" against the findings, I doubt very much they have a decent Legal defense, but they want time to prepare an obfuscating and full of half-truths Public Statement.

  Borg will lose again.

  Then they will appeal to the European supreme court.

  And burn down all their bridges to other European countries.

  Phizzy - “…I doubt very much they have a decent Legal defense…”

  Let’s be honest.

  It’s not like they give their lawyers a whole helluva lot to work with.

  …assholes just can’t seem to hide it, no matter hard they try.
