Abuse victims agree to delay lawsuits in Wilmington bankruptcy case
November 06, 2009
Lawyers representing victims of sexual abuse in the Wilmington diocese have agreed to postpone proceedings on their lawsuits, after a November 6 negotiating session with diocesan lawyers. All court cases against the diocese had been frozen when the diocese filed for bankruptcy protection, but the victims' representatives had threatened to continue their cases, with individual parishes as defendants. They dropped that plan in exchange for an agreement by the diocese to release personnel files on several priests suspected of abuse.
