Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 26 MAY 1965 | Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 11 JUNE 1965 |
PETITIONS | |
No person under sentence or awaiting a Committee of Evidence may validly petition the Office of LRH. | CORRECTION TO HCO POLICY LETTER OF 26 MAY 1965 |
A petition may only be submitted before or after the full course of Scientology Ethics has been taken. | Exception to the rule that no org may accept any registered mail: as HCO Policy Letter of April 11th, 1963 states that rolls of names and addresses from each org are to be sent by registered surface mail to Capetown, Capetown is to accept, and be alert to accepting, such registered mail. |
As all Ethics actions such as a Committee of Evidence are reviewed, in effect a line already exists due to the Ethics action and the facts will be on it. | |
Therefore a communication from a person under legal sentence from Ethics Officers or a person named in a Comm Ev may not petition. Ethics actions must be permitted to take their course. | |
A protest from Ethics actions worded as a petition routinely causes further investigation as the “petitioner” is actually only protesting Ethics actions and is handled as such. | [Amended by HCO P/L 18 January 1970, Registered Mail, Volume 1, page 178.] |
[Note: The wording of the first sentence, fourth paragraph of the above Policy Letter, has been amended from the original mimeo issue which read: “Therefore a communication from a person under legal sentence from Ethics Officers or a person named in a Comm Ev may not petition.” ] | |
