Canon 145
That if someone simultaneously files several complaints against a cleric, and the first of them is refuted, then the accuser should not be allowed to file other complaints.
It was convenient: whenever the accusers brought many accusations against the clergy, if one of them, which was considered first, could not be proven, after that they were not allowed to add other accusations.
Greek original
Ὁμοίως ἤρεσεν, ἵνα, ὁσακισδήποτε κληρικοῖς ἀπὸ κατηγορῶν πολλὰ ἐγκλήματα ὑποβάλλονται, καὶ ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν, περὶ οὗ πρῶτον ἐπράχθη, ἀποδειχθῆναι οὐκ ἠδυνήθη, πρὸς τὰ λοιπὰ μετὰ ταύτα μὴ προσδεχθῶσι.[1]
