John V. Dittemore former senior church director of the First Church of Christ Scientist in Boston filed a new bill in Suffolk County Supreme Judicial Court. He seeks restoration to his director position after claiming removal by fellow directors was illegal.
The filing seeks to restrain other directors from interfering with his duties and asks the court to declare the vote dismissing him null and void as illegal.
Mr. Dittemore warns that talks planned between certain defendants and the publishing society trustees may produce a collusive settlement of the pending claim.
