ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The final day of voting for the 475 victims involved in the Diocese of Rochester bankruptcy case took place on Tuesday. The case has been ongoing for six years.
If the victims vote in favor, the settlement deal with the diocese and several insurance companies will proceed. This vote is one of the final steps in the process.
Leander James, attorney for 49 victims, shared insights on the anticipated outcome.
“I think what you’ll find here when the vote tally is made public, I predict you’re going to see a unanimous or near-unanimous voting for the plan because of the survivors’ interest in bringing finality to the many years of this long and drawn-out case,” said James.
The votes will be tallied in federal court on July 29. The settlement includes $55 million from the diocese and its parishes. Talks were held on Tuesday with a holdout insurance company in New York City.
