St. James Loses in Property Dispute with Diocese of Pennsylvania

[VirtueOnline] December 31, 2005--The Supreme Court decision in our case was posted late yesterday afternoon. It went against us. The majority reversed the trial court finding that the property belongs to the Diocese, but concurred that there exists an implied trust in favor of the Diocese. This was based not on the Dennis canon, but on various factors in the situation prior to that time.
