Scientology suing the Government of France

[Royal Prince Xenu]

Here is a news report (subtitles added) that was broadcast in France on October 22, 2009, five days before the guilty verdict in Scientology's organized fraud trial was rendered on October 27. The subject is the May 2009 legislative change that deleted the provision which enabled France to dissolve a legal entity after two fraud convictions. The provision was subsequently reinstated, but could not be applied retroactively.

I'm not sure which state, but in the u.s. a similar "typo" occurred and legislation to name a highway after "Charles Mason" had to be scrapped at the last minute because someone noticed that if it went ahead it would have been named the "Charles Manson Highway".

The Church of Scientology, condemned by the French court in October 2009 with heavy fines but not prohibited from exercising, sued the State in court for "gross misconduct" after the requisition of the prosecution during the trial, did it announced today. On 27 October 2009, the Paris Criminal Court had sentenced the proselytizing practices of Scientology, while allowing the maintenance of its structures. At the trial held in June 2009, including the prosecution had requis of dissolution Celebrity Centre and its library, the two main French organizations of Scientology. But this solution was in fact inapplicable.

So, because of an obscure error by someone unknown, which was too convenient by half for CoS, the French found they couldn't after all force the dissolution of the Scientology organisation (but this is now again possible) but they did condemn "proselytizing practices". So does anyone know what exactly they are not allowed to do?

For an organisation that has been condemned and fined as a criminal organisation (that didn't change!) they might be wiser to keep a low profile. Pass the popcorn; I am enjoying this.

A June 3, 2011 Scientology press release announces that the "Spiritual Association of the Church of Scientology - Celebrity Centre" is suing the Government of France for one million euros in damages.

The Cult of Greed is suing someone, that is like saying water is wet, I wouldn't exactly call the cult of Scientology practicing Hubbard's Standard Tech ... breaking news. This should be filed under Scientology/Standard Tech.
