It is my prerogative to instruct attorneys, lawyers, barristers and solicitors and to hold correspondence and conferences with them and to advise them.

Any Scientology Organization personnel seeking advices from attorneys, etc., without obtaining permission from me or passing them through me, shall be subject to loss of 50% of units each week for 10 weeks.

No attorney or solicitor has materially assisted us when not instructed by me and money has been lost and organizations damaged by approaching attorneys or solicitors without authorization on behalf of the organization.

In my absence only a member of the International Council or his deputy may approach attorneys or solicitors and either myself or the International Chairman must be fully informed before any action of importance may be undertaken.
