Archbishop of Canterbury Questioned on Reversion Grant
Tuesday in the Court of King's Bench Mr Justice Buller presided over a special jury trial involving several plaintiffs and the Archbishop of Canterbury as defendant. The case tested whether usage justifies granting in reversion the Register of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. After over five hours of testimony and records back to 1502, Buller held the plaintiff must prove a general usage as common law opposes such grants. The judge noted the evidence showed only isolated grants rather than a true custom.
