In a ruling handed down Monday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Huntsman on part of his appeal in his fraud lawsuit. In that litigation, Huntsman accused the faith of misspending tithing dollars he and others had given them. The Church has vehemently denied wrongdoing.
What it means is Huntsman, a brother of former Utah Governor and U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman Jr. and a member of the wealthy Utah family, will get another chance to take his case against the Church to court. Huntsman sued alleging the Church of using spending tithing dollars to finance the City Creek Center mall project in downtown Salt Lake City and prop up Beneficial Life Insurance instead of on charitable purposes, contrary to what the faith insisted.
In a dissent, Judge Edward Korman took issue with representations about then-President Hinckley's comments on tithing. When contacted by FOX 13 News late Monday, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints insisted again no wrongdoing.
