The appeal court has ruled that the Chancel Repairs Act 1932, under which farmers and other landowners bore the cost of repairs to parish churches in return for receiving parish tithes, contravenes human rights. The ruling could affect an estimated 5,000 'lay rectors', many of whom may be unaware of their obligations.CA judgement available on http://porch.ccta.gov.uk/courtser/judgements.nsf/5cbcc578c01a9c02802567170061b8c6/922b101ea4112a5680256a53004e8f7c/$FILE/civil_wallbank.htm?OpenDocument
