The monastery’s lawyers submitted several motions to postpone the hearing due to the lack of opportunity to fully review the case materials. The court granted the motions. The next hearing is scheduled for March 12 at 2:30 p.m.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that the hearing in the case of the Upper Lavra had been postponed at the request of the monastery’s attorneys.
