As part of the published Code of Reform, any parishioner requesting a refund for Ministerial training or counselling actually received or received in part and still available but undelivered only because of departure of the person requesting, is hereafter issued a Writ of Expulsion, in substitution for an SP declaration.
A Writ of Expulsion is handled administratively as were SP Orders when they were used. This is covered by HCO Pol Ltr 7 June 1965 ENTHETA LETTERS & DEAD FILE, HANDLING OF, and the addition HCO Pol Ltr of 25 Sept, 1965.
Briefly, it is handled as follows:
The Ethics Officer or HCO Area Sec issues the Writ of Expulsion and Waiver. He informs the parishioner requesting the refund of the recourse steps, including A to E. He then has him read and sign the waiver.
His folders are filed in the Deadfile. The Writ of Expulsion is stamped with the Entheta stamp. This is the usual “Entheta to Central Files to Ethics Deadfiles” stamp.
Central Files handles per policy by replacing the person’s file with a Dummy stamped “Entheta” and sends the file folder to Ethics Deadfile.
Addresso types “Writ of Expulsion” on the person’s plate and puts it in the Deadfile drawer.
The Writ and any folders then go back to Ethics as before. Ethics sends a copy of the Writ to other orgs.
Ethics makes out cards and sends to other orgs, even though they received the Writ of Expulsion, in case the person shows up in another area, at which point Ethics has full data on the person and acts accordingly.
Data regarding any parishioner requesting a refund of offerings must always be sent to Legal.
Dianetic refunds are covered in HCO Pol Ltr of 23 May 1969 DIANETIC CONTRACT and are handled exactly per that Policy.
The following is the only waiver and Writ of Expulsion to be used for any parishioner requesting and receiving a refund of his donations to Scientology. When the waiver is signed, the Writ of Expulsion is issued in the form as shown below.
