A $30 million settlement has been proposed for former students of St. Thomas More and Vancouver College who experienced sexual, physical, and psychological abuse by members of the Christian Brothers between 1976 and 2013. Over 200 claimants are expected to seek compensation, with payments structured in two tiers, capping at $30,000 and $1 million based on the severity of abuse. The lawsuit, initiated by Darren Liptrot, has highlighted the transfer of abusers from Newfoundland, where similar abuse cases have faced prolonged legal battles. A court hearing to assess the settlement’s fairness is scheduled for late April.
