The bankruptcy case against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Davenport, the result of a clergy sexual abuse scandal, has been closed.
Judge Lee Jackwig of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Iowa issued an order last Friday to conclude the case, which dates to 2006. She wrote that “substantial consummation of the confirmed plan has occurred and the estate has been fully administered.”
The diocese, however, still must comply with the non-monetary terms that were part of a $37 million settlement reached in 2008 between the diocese and more than 150 avowed abuse victims.
