Appeals court dismisses LDS tithing fraud class action as too late

Rule Changes

As of September 2026: Wrote unanimous opinion

A federal appeals court on August 31 affirmed that a class-action lawsuit accusing the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of hiding how it spends tithing money was filed too late. The 10th Circuit ruled the plaintiffs should have known about the church's alleged financial misuse after a 2019 IRS whistleblower report made national headlines.
