Insurance money from the Christ Church Cathedral can be used to build the $5.3 million cardboard cathedral, Anglican lawyers argued this morning.
Anglican leaders have asked Justice Graham Panckhurst for direction on whether cathedral insurance money can be used for the transitional cathedral being built in Latimer Square.
Justice Chisholm said in an interim ruling last year that the cathedral’s insurance money should be used only for a project on the Cathedral Square.
“Given the site-specific purpose of the cathedral trust, it is difficult to see how any insurance proceeds arising from the insurance over the cathedral could be used off-site,” he wrote in an interim ruling.
