Summary
The 81-year-old retired schoolteacher has said she was close to her late uncle, and that the dress has sentimental value.Wisconsin woman says Judy Garland’s ‘Wizard of Oz’ dress belongs to herCatholic University countered that the dress was gifted to the institution, and that Gilbert Hartke’s vow of poverty as a Dominican priest means he didn’t intend to personally own anything of value.Shawn Brenhouse, an attorney for Catholic University, said in a statement that the auction would “be postponed until the resolution of this case,” but that the university would continue to fight for its ability to sell the dress and endow a faculty position in the drama school.“The Court’s decision to preserve the status quo was preliminary and did not get to the merits of Barbara Hartke’s claim to the dress,” Brenhouse said.
