810 APPEAL MATTERS

5.23. Delete the word “layman” and place “or” before “teacher.”
The congregation, not the District, has jurisdiction in the Case of
a layman.

5.141 places an unnecessary burden on District Boards of Ap-
peal. The rule might read: “The Board of Appeals upon assuming
jurisdiction of an appeal case shall promptly inform all Parties of
the section of the Handbook governing Boards of Appeal and, where
necessary, supply a copy of the Handbook.”

5.159. Add the words “or recording” after “official stenographic

transcript.”
