Decision on abuse compensation
The Supreme Court ruled today the Middlesborough Diocese and Roman Catholic organisation which supplied teachers to St Williams should have to pay compensation to alleged victims of abuse.
Compensation for children's home abuse
Boys who suffered horrific abuse at a Catholic children's home in East Yorkshire are finally to receive compensation after a landmark court ruling.
It is the UK's biggest historic child abuse compensation case, following a litany of sex crimes at St William's Children's Home in Market Weighton over a 34-year period.
Now judges have decided that two Catholic organisations should be held liable for the catalogue of brutality which forced many victims to the brink of suicide, as Jon Hill reports.
