The financially-troubled Diocese of Moncton could soon face even more problems with several lawsuits in the works, says an Ontario lawyer.
Robert Talach says he has about 15 clients who don’t want to go through the church’s compensation process.
At least one lawsuit has already been filed, but the litigation could drag on for years, he said.
“I mean, there’ll be disclosures the rest of this year, the rest of this decade,” said Talach.
“It’s an individual consideration when a person comes forward,” he said.
“You know, a victim who may only be in their 20s or early-30s now is probably not prepared to speak about this … to anybody.”
