  • On 27 October 2005 the House of Lords' decision in Fraser v Canterbury Diocesan Board of Finance (No 2)�referred to in this Comment as Fraser (No 2)�ended an audacious attempt by the Canterbury Diocese to eliminate the issue of reverter in the majority of school sites affected by it. The media, largely unable to comprehend the legal issues, announced that the decision would lose the Church a lot of money: �The widespread practice of selling school sites could prove to be a costly mistake�; �Defeat over sale of school land to cost Church millions�.
