Lawyers representing the plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit over alleged abuse say former students at two Vancouver-area Catholic schools have received a $30-million settlement offer.<\/p>\n
Vancouver-based CFM Lawyers says in a statement that Vancouver College, St. Thomas More Collegiate and the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Vancouver and the plaintiffs have come to a settlement that is awaiting court approval.<\/p>\n
The hearing for approval process starts April 30 in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.<\/p>\n
The statement from the law firm says the defendants also include four Christian Brother.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit alleged that the defendants failed to protect students at the schools by allowing the four Christian Brothers with a known history of child abuse to be transferred into teaching positions at the two schools.<\/p>\n
The claim, which said the abuses took place from 1976 to 2013 at Vancouver College and between 1976 to 1989 at St. Thomas More, was certified as class-action in March 2023 by the B.C. Supreme Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lawyers representing the plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit over alleged abuse say former students at two Vancouver-area Catholic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":525117,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194298],"tags":[49,48,55],"class_list":["post-525116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-vancouver","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-vancouver"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=525116"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525116\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/525117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=525116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=525116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=525116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
