Description
Summary:A Respondent has asked to review the testimony and acts of the case concerning her former marriage. Up to this point she had neither responded nor cooperated in any manner whatsoever. She wants the material mailed to her at home. When told that this could not be done, that she would have to appear at the tribunal for such a review, her civil attorney responded, saying he would review the material on her behalf. The tribunal informed the attorney that this could not be allowed, that only the respondent herself and her ecclesiastical advocate could review the material. The respondent is upset by this information. She may appeal an affirmative judgment, should one be forthcoming. Would this denial of permission of the civil attorney, who is not a canon lawyer, be seen as a denial of the respondent's right of defense?
