A group of over 400 clergy abuse victims rejected a reorganization plan submitted by the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis in the archdiocese’s bankruptcy case, according to a release from the law firm Stinson Leonard Street.
The archdiocese originally filed a reorganization plan in May of 2016. The sexual abuse survivors submitted their plan in August of 2016, after the court denied a request from the Creditor’s Committee that the archdiocese’s assets be consolidated.
Both parties amended their plan in November.
According to the release, the plan submitted by the creditor’s committee received 94 percent of the votes. According to a release from Jeff Anderson & Associates, 406 of the 447 people eligible to vote participated.
