JOHN'S, N.L. — A court hearing over the compensation claims of survivors of abuse by members of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. John’s took an unexpected turn Friday, May 10, with the late participation of an insurance company that says it wasn’t notified of its involvement in the claims until last December.Northbridge General Insurance Corporation says it received a letter on Dec.
The adjudication process was initially expected to have been completed by the end of 2023 but has been delayed until the end of June 2024 due to the volume of claims. “We are actually here on what I consider to be a white knight mission, because the insurer is being very proactive. We are trying to address a potential coverage issue before that issue becomes irrevocable.”Ullman, who said the company has not yet decided whether it will cover the claims, asked Justice Garrett Handrigan for a case management conference to discuss Northbridge’s concerns and determine whether amendments should be made to the process.
Some suggested case management isn’t appropriate at this point, considering the insurance company hasn’t even decided on coverage of the claims. “They had ample opportunity any time in the last 25 years to become involved in the process in one form or another,” Buckingham argued.The matter will return to court June 6.The RCECSJ has been in bankruptcy protection for two years as it sells off churches, schools and other assets to raise money to settle the claims of survivors of sexual abuse by Christian Brothers at Mount Cashel Orphanage and other Roman Catholic clergy in St. John’s, for which it has been found vicariously liable.
Guardian later agreed to sign an order requiring them to defend the archdiocese in the claims and settled with it out of court.
