| It is wrong to describe the Church of England’s consistory courts as “rarely used and archaic” (Relatives ask bishop to halt development of graveyard, 1 May).

The Ecclesiastical Law Association’s admirable, free website shows that there were 12 reported judgments of that diocese’s consistory court in 2017, apart altogether from numerous unreported decisions. Consistory courts operate under statutory provisions which are routinely updated, and their jurisdiction is primarily concerned with regulating proposed works on consecrated land.Charles George QCDean of the Arches and auditor | It is wrong to describe the Church of England’s consistory courts as “rarely used and archaic” (Relatives ask bishop to halt development of graveyard, 1 May).
