Victims who have waited more than 20 years could receive some money by this fall
Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador in St. John's. - File PhotoST. JOHN'S, N.L. — A recent court decision has helped focus the claims process for victims of sexual abuse at the former Mount Cashel Orphanage in St. John’s, bringing the process much closer for men who have waited more than 20 years to receive financial compensation.
The sides were far apart. The episcopal corporation’s proposed process would have involved individual impact assessments of claimants, while the claimants proposed a process that would not require expert evidence for proof of damages.Geoff Budden, representative counsel for the abuse victims, said Handrigan’s decision is more about overarching approaches to the process, meaning there are still details to be worked out among the parties.
Since the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision more than 100 men have come forward intending to file claims, and the total amount of claims is expected to exceed $50 million. “Our hope is that over the days to come we will work things out. We are pretty much in agreement in many aspects of the process and our hope is that we will sort out the balance. If there are still a point or two where we are in disagreement we can get further direction from the court. But we are in pretty good shape on that, I think,” Budden said.
