Eleven objections were raised to end this case before it could be heard. On January 4, 2026, the court answered each in turn.
When a party wants a case dismissed before the facts are weighed, it files preliminary objections — arguments that the claims are legally defective and should be thrown out. The Grand Boulé filed eleven, asking the court to dismiss the Second Amended Petition with prejudice: to end the matter for good.
The court took them one by one. Below is the full record of how each fared — the wins and the losses alike, in the court’s own dispositions.
Read the column. Of the eleven objections raised to end the case before it could be heard, the court struck down the substance of nearly all of them. The few it sustained were matters of form, not merit — the technical type of injunction requested, a clerical defect in one count’s drafting, a single tort theory that needed a wider audience to stand. Not one of the sustained points touched whether the removal was valid, whether the ratification cured it, or whether the elected officer was wronged.
This decree did not arrive in a vacuum. It followed the court’s earlier preliminary findings — that the elected officer is likely to prevail on the merits, the court having found it likely that the April 9 vote fell short of the threshold the Bylaws require, and that the ratification that followed did not cure the defect. Those findings are preliminary; the objections were the attempt to keep them from ever being tested at trial. The attempt failed.
A case is not won by the objections raised against it.
It is measured by how many of them the court lets stand.
