This is added by CT on 23/04/10, 12.30pm

This is the LATEST ANNOUNCEMENT taken from the Calvary Church Website on 23 April 2010.

The Calvary Stewardship Day Meeting scheduled for 7.00pm on Friday, April 23, 2010 has been postponed to a later date. We encourage all Calvarites to attend our regular Friday Prayer Meeting which will be held at 7.30pm that evening.

Legal Views of this AGM said...

I write in response to your posting and offer a few comments.

In your posting, you mentioned about the "fresh injunction" and "AGM being cancelled". I was puzzled why on 15 April, the high court granted AGM to proceed in an injunction hearing and, in less than one week, on 21 April, the same high court through another injunction stopped the AGM.

According to some lawyers whom I consulted, the second injunction is likely an Erinford Injunction by the same High Court. It means an interim preservation order pending the disposal of Originating Summons or appeal. Usually, the purpose of this Erinford injunction was to prevent the Court of Appeal's decision on the earlier injunction appealed on from being rendered nugatory if the AGM 2010 was allowed as scheduled.

If the same judge granted this Erinford injunction, it means the BOD has been refrained from carrying out the AGM as scheduled until the decision of the appeal to the Court of Appeal. Thus, the announcement in Calvary Church website that the AGM is postponed and your wording the AGM is cancelled were not exactly correct. The truth of the matter is that the AGM scheduled on 23 April 2010 is injuncted by Court Order.

Please post this comment to give a true fact about the confusing situation surrounding this AGM.

BREAKING NEWS

Calvary Today has just been informed by an ex-Calvary Church staff that a fresh injunction to stop the Church AGM scheduled for tomorrow, has been granted by the Court yesterday. The Church has, in compliance with the Court decision, cancelled the AGM.

CT has been unable to obtain any further details at this juncture.

ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE STAR NEWSPAPER
On a different note, there is an announcement, published in the Star newspaper today on page M14 of the Metro section, calling all Calvary Church members who have been sacked to attend the Church AGM scheduled to be held tomorrow.

The announcement also mentioned a candlelight vigil outside the Damansara Heights Church during the proceedings of the AGM.

The announcement was placed by some concerned members who may or may not have known about the Injunction application or perhaps, have been unable to withdraw the announcement in time after the court decision today.

Late this evening, CT received an email from a representative of the concerned members who had placed the announcement which said that although the AGM has been cancelled, all members are encouraged to go to the Church anyway to attend the Friday Prayer Meeting and to fellowship and bless our fellow brothers and sisters-in-Christ.

In the email, the concerned members also encouraged everyone to continue to pray for righteousness and justice to be restored to Calvary Church and for a quick resolution to this long-drawn saga.
