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.
Ruling: diocese and De la Salle order both liable to pay
The Supreme Court has ruled that two Catholic organisations are liable to pay compensation to victims of abuse at a children's home in East Yorkshire.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Middlesbrough did not challenge their overall responsibility for abuse at St Williams.
They did however insist that the De La Salle Roman Catholic Order, who supplied St Williams with teaching staff, were partially responsible. The Supreme Court agreed with the Diocese of Middlesbrough.
