A former City lawyer from west London who claimed £5m damages over sexual abuse at a Jesuit-run school has been awarded £54,923 at the High Court.
Patrick Raggett suffered years of abuse by Father Michael Spencer, a teacher at Preston Catholic College in Lancashire, who died in 2000, the court heard.
Mr Raggett claimed he suffered years of under-achievement at work, a failed marriage, binge-drinking and a breakdown as a result of the abuse.
The college closed in 1978.
