Archdiocese of St. John’s declines comment following decision
The Archdiocese of St. John’s is liable for the abuse at Mount Cashel Orphanage in the 1950s, after Canada’s highest court declined to hear one last appeal from the Catholic Church.
The Supreme Court of Canada released its decision Thursday, simply saying it rejected the application from the Archdiocese of St. John’s.
The decision brings to an end a painstaking process for victims who were abused at the orphanage when they were children. The case has been snaking its way through the courts for 21 years.
