After a grueling full day in court, settlement was reached in the long-running law suit between Peebs.Net and the Exclusive Brethren. The fact of settlement is public, but not the terms.
We will publish what we are able as and when lawyers advise.
Meanwhile, the wording used by the Court Reporter seems to underline the effort of the process!
Case Name: Bible & Gospel Trust v. Twinam et al
Case Number: 1:07-cv-00017-jgm
Document Number: 159
MINUTE ENTRY for proceedings held before Judge J. Garvan Murtha: Status/Settlement Conference held in chambers on 11/23/2009. Present were Matthew Kirtland, Esq. on behalf of pltf; Ronald Shems, Esq. and Rebecca Boucher, Esq. on behalf of dft Timothy Twinam. Statements by counsel. After extensive negotiations and discussions between the parties, a confidential settlement was reached. The parties shall prepare a written settlement agreement and file a stipulation of dismissal. The record of this conference shall remain SEALED until further order of the Court.
That’s it?!
It would be interesting to know WHY Peebs.net is not allowed to have a members only section of their website. Other websites have a members only section. Why is Peebs.net not allowed to have one? Is this not discriminatory??
Just askin!

As the Settlement Agreement is confidential, we cannot provide a response other than to state: ‘The Private Forums have been closed pursuant to the terms of a confidential settlement agreement’. As the members of the now closed forums were the funding source that financially supported our 4 year legal battle with the Exclusive Brethren, you can probably draw your own conclusions as to ‘WHY’.
We will be publishing the full story of the legal battle shortly.
