Survivors Push to Hold Wealthy Entity Liable | Melbourne News

Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description

Two abuse survivors are fighting to shift their massive compensation claims from the financially strapped Christian Brothers to Edmund Rice Education Australia, which holds billions in assets and runs former Christian Brothers schools. With estimates of $774 million in potential liabilities, survivors fear the Brothers will vanish into legal limbo — leaving them unpaid. Edmund Rice denies responsibility, insisting it’s a separate entity, but the case is escalating into a landmark legal battle, with one judge calling it “high court written all over it.” A critical hearing in early August could redefine accountability for abuse survivors and reshape how property transfers are viewed nationwide.
