If the federal court accepts the vote, this six-year case will be over, and payouts to the 475 survivors will begin. The settlement includes $55 million from the diocese and its parishes, along with $120 million from the holdout insurance company called CNA.
A lawyer told News10NBC’s Berkeley Brean that about two-thirds of the votes need to be in favor for the settlement to be accepted, and the bankruptcy judge must also agree.
Carol Dupre, a church abuse survivor, spoke with Brean at the beginning of July about the settlement, saying her and others feel hopeful.
“I’m tired. I feel like I’ve been in a wrestling match for, it’s been more than six years. The case will be a full six years by September,” said Dupre.
News10NBC will be tracking the votes. Check back later for updates.
