before the judge or the tribunal determined in the typicon or the

statutes of the institute. 2. Except cases concerning secular

institutes, if the controversy arises between physical or juridic

persons of various institutes of consecrated life, or even of the

same institute of eparchial right or of another, in which the

and any other physical or juridic person, the eparchial tribunal
