If a person wished to collect a debt or settle a dispute with another Scientologist, he would have no recourse to Scientology justice, but rather would be obliged to use what passes for justice in society, involving huge costs just to be heard and the distinct possibility of suffering an insane outcome.

There would be no purpose served or justification for any justice action greater than expulsion. Any such action would violate Scientology’s most basic codes and its Creed.

“Fair Game” was cancelled, and has remained cancelled, be­cause it was found that it could be misinterpreted by those anti­pathetic to Scientology to authorize justice actions of a more severe nature than expulsion.

Justice is a much abused subject. Too many men of evil intent have used the disguise of “justice” to forward malicious and destructive ends. In so doing they have hampered the efforts of just men who have sought to administer the law fairly and as a protection for honest and decent people.
