Romanian High Court Rejects Strange Religious Malpractice Lawsuit

The London Daily Mail reported last Saturday that Romania's High Court of Cassation has affirmed a lower court's decision rejecting a bizarre "religious malpractice" suit brought by lawyer Madalin Ciculescu against Orthodox bishop Constantin Argatu and four priests.  The lawsuit claims that the clergy failed to properly exorcise demons that were responsible for the bad smells that were ruining Cirlescu's business. Plaintiff says that the demons are now haunting him at home as well. The court agreed with the Church that the continued bad smells are imagined, and ordered Ciculescu to pay defendants' legal costs. Ciculescu says he plans to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.
