CHAPTER IV. The Place of the Trial

Can. 1468 Insofar as possible, every tribunal is to be in an established location open during stated hours.

Can. 1469 §1. A judge expelled by force from his territory or impeded from the exercise of jurisdiction there can

exercise jurisdiction and render a sentence outside that territory; the diocesan bishop, however, is to be informed

of this.

§2. In addition to the case mentioned in §1, for a just cause and after having heard the parties, the judge can

also go outside the territory to acquire proofs. This is to be done, however, with the permission of the diocesan bishop

of the place where the judge goes and in the location designated by that bishop.
