As missing as your awareness of the process outlined in the new testament of how to discipline a "brother", which the case detail outlines nicely.
To pull it off requires the victim's (in this case missing) forgiveness which if not granted willingly comes with pressure from church leadership. I am aware of a "piano player" case that was pulled off without a hitch. No legal problems, no paperwork. The forgiveness (ordered from the pulpit as in the referenced earlier case) was granted because the new testament teaches that if your pastor says to do it you obey.
