The Supreme Court in London has begun hearing legal arguments in an historic abuse case involving the Catholic diocese of Middlesborough and the De La Salle Brothers.
They ran St William’s boys home in Yorkshire where children were sexually abused between 1960 and 1992.
The case involves over 150 claimants, many of whom say they were abused by former headmaster Br James Carragher.
He was sentenced in 2004 to 14 years for abusing boys at St William’s and has a previous conviction for sex abuse.
The institution has since closed down and the buildings have been converted into a mental health facility.
