Church fights plan to ease sex-suit filing - Allowing all victims, no matter how long ago the abuse occurred, to file suit would bring financial ruin, it said. 12/4/05 by Craig R. McCoy and Angela Couloumbis Inquirer Staff Writers "The Catholic Church in Pennsylvania is lobbying against a proposal that would allow sexual-abuse victims from decades ago to file lawsuits, saying it could cause financial ruin for the church. Some Harrisburg lawmakers want the state to create a one-year "window" to allow victims to sue, regardless of when they were abused. This would relax a strict statute of limitations that has kept virtually all of those cases out of the courts." http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/news/breaking_news/13320393.htm?template=contentModules/printstory.jsp
Residential schools 12/5/05 by: Matt Ross / Indian Country Today - Abuse survivors finally to receive compensation "Ottawa - Almost $2 billion in Canadian funds will be paid to aboriginal survivors of the Canadian residential school system. The settlement was announced Nov. 23, one day before the First Ministers Meeting with national aboriginal leaders convened in Kelowna, British Columbia. Following six months of negotiations between the Assembly of First Nations and the federal government, an agreement-in-principle was signed that has resulted in the largest and most comprehensive settlement package in Canadian history. About 86,000 First Nations, Metis and Inuit are eligible to collect these payments, many of whom are more than 60 years old." http://www.indiancountry.com/content.cfm?id=1096412040 www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
