Decision Number 89

Decision

It is the Decision of the Judicial Council that if in the judgment of a majority of the Committee of Investigation the acts charged against the accused do not constitute one of the offenses enumerated in Paragraph 921 of the 1952 Discipline, the Committee has the right so to determine and it shall be the duty of the District Superintendent to certify and declare such judgment of the Committee to the Annual Conference.

It is the Decision of the Judicial Council, however, that if the acts charged against the accused do constitute one of the offenses enumerated in Paragraph 921 of the Discipline, whether or not the accused admits such charges, the Committee of Investigation has no alternative but to prepare and file the proper charges and specifications.
