The Catholic Church may have opened itself up to hundreds of potential damages claims from sexual abuse survivors after admitting liability in court documents.

'We have been pressing for the documents since October 2018'

"We have been pressing for the documents since October 2018. The documents have been sent to us on a dribs and drabs basis." Lawyers for JCB have been trying to persuade the church to admit liability on the basis of admissions it made to the royal commission.
