A Catholic teaching institute is liable for alleged physical and sexual abuse at a former boys’ school, the Supreme Court has ruled.
Claims of abuse are being made by 170 former pupils of St William’s in Market Weighton, East Yorkshire.
Judges said the De La Salle Brotherhood was liable along with the Middlesbrough diocese which owned the school.
The BBC’s Danny Shaw said it was a landmark ruling which could affect other claims of abuse at institutions.
