I believe Ken could get a court to set aside this "agreement." A contract is only valid if there is "consideration" going both ways. This thing has so many loop holes and escape clauses in it that it gives the Lisa McPherson Estate nothing at all--as will be clearly shown should the Estate ever get the case to court and win.

>And this agreement does not prevent a corporate "reorganisation".

Yep. You have to read things like this in the context of the legal history of scientology. Wollersheim for example.

>Btw I would love to see Exhibit B ("liens or encumbrances").

That would be interesting considering the situation with the Toronto Org.
