A compensation court case filed by the victims of clerical abuse was today put off indefinitely until a separate case appealing a decision by a judge not to abstain from hearing the case is heard.
In a very short sitting today, Mr Justice Joseph Micallef upheld a request for the case to be postponed and put on hold pending a hearing of an appeal against the judge’s decision not to abstain from hearing the case.
Lawyers Patrick Valentino and Franco Vassallo said this would allow them to also file a request before the Constitutional Court.
