在澳大利亚,遭受虐待的幸存者正试图将针对基督教兄弟会的赔偿索赔案件,转移到那些从该修会巨额土地和财产转移中获益的实体身上 [1]。这一受益实体拒绝同意成为被告,从而引发了一场可能代价高昂且涉及高等法院的法律战即将展开的局面 [1]。受害者方提出的索赔总额估计高达 7.74 亿美元 [1]。案件被描述为具有“高等法院”级别的复杂性 [1]。Edmund Rice Education Australia(基督教兄弟会教育澳大利亚)方面拒绝同意成为被告 [1]。
In Australia, abuse survivors are attempting to shift their compensation lawsuits against the Christian Brothers order onto an entity they claim profited significantly from the religious group's land and asset transfers [1]. This legal maneuver has been rejected by Edmund Rice Education Australia (ERA), which refuses to agree to be named as a defendant in the proceedings [1]. The dispute is expected to escalate into a potentially costly legal battle involving the High Court, with case complexity described at that level [1]. Survivors estimate their total compensation claims could reach $774 million [1].
