$30 million settlement reached in class-action lawsuit over abuse at Catholic schools

A proposed $30 million settlement has been reached in a class-action lawsuit involving former students of Vancouver College and St. Thomas More, resolving claims of abuse by members of the Christian Brothers. If approved by the B.C. Supreme Court, the settlement would allow eligible former students, who attended the schools from 1976 to 2013, to apply for compensation. The agreement includes a two-tier compensation process based on the severity of the impact of the abuse.
