Re: Wifes reserved burial plot has another interment placed in it in error-help

This site has been very helpful to me on several occasions and I would like to "give something back". I am therefore offering to type up the case from start to finish in a short as possible version for a moderator to review and if they consider it worthwhile post it as a "sticky", or whatever you wish to call it, for future reference to anyone else who may find themselves in a similar situation. If someone wants to take up this offer just let me know.

I'd be happy to xx

FINAL UPDATE
After 12 months and 19 days from noticing my wife's burial pot had been sold again the Consistory Court (held in a local Church) has found in our favour and my wife's exclusive burial rights have been reinstated. It has been a very difficult time for both parties involved and whilst delighted that we won I have considerable sympathy for the other party. Neither party have done anything wrong but have had to live under a cloud of uncertainty for so long. The costs, legal and otherwise, of this situation are horrendous, a rough estimate of the final costs for all parties is in excess of £100,000 and if no objection is forthcoming, should be met by the LA.
The case has been interesting, with the court bundles in six A4 files and close to 400 pages.
Exhumation cases are quite rare and I am no expert but if I can ever help anyone with such a difficult situation, either by guidance or introduction to the Solicitor and Barrister who work so hard on our behalf (and if site moderators allow such recommendations) please feel free to contact me.
Finally thank you to everyone who contributed to this thread, my wife and I are forever grateful for your input.

The case had to be seen through as the plot in question was so special to my wife.
Be assured I will be staying around as, like you "I have a view on most things, and need to find out all the answers ...
I hate to see people being wronged, and go out of my way to help if I can!"
I now go on to wrapping up my elder sisters estate and my younger sisters divorce.
After that retirement in June 2018 cant come quick enough when all I need to worry about is fishing.
