    I’d like to think that everyone involved would prefer this to be sorted out outside the courts.

    I think it is quite likely that our bishops know how foolish it would be to pursue a policy which would allow a situation to develop where bishops are reminded repeatedly during their episcopacy that their election was irregular.
