Orthodox Patriarchate ordered to pay $2.9 mln to Israeli lawyer
An Israeli court ordered the Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem to pay 11.3 million shekels (2.9 million dollars) to Israeli lawyer Moshe Lipke after he claimed that the Church owed him 11.3 million shekels. The sum covers the cost of cases that he says he represented the Patriarchate in Jerusalem in since 2002.
