The Parlement of Paris, a court rather than a legislature, ruled against the Society in a bankruptcy case in 1762, influenced by secular notables.
In 1762, the Parlement of Paris, a court and not a legislature, ruled against the Society in a huge bankruptcy case. This decision was influenced by groups including Madame de Pompadour. The Parlement also issued the Extraits des assertions, alleging Jesuit immorality; the supplied evidence assigns no year to that document, so it is not dated to 1762 here.
