About this case
Daniel Chappell, John Oaks, and Masen Chistensen brought a class-action lawsuit alleging that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints fraudulently induced tithing donations, misrepresented how funds were used, concealed the alleged misuse, and was unjustly enriched. The district court dismissed the case with prejudice as barred by the statute of limitations, and the U.S. Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal in September 2026.
