The final number for claims against the Christian Brothers in North America is in, surprising even some of the lawyers handling them.
Christian Brothers entities in North America declared bankruptcy last year. The deadline for filing suit against the order expired Aug. 1.
The total number of claims approved is 422.
About 160 are from Newfoundland and Labrador. The rest originate from the United States.
Mount Pearl lawyer Geoff Budden and his firm filed 90 of the claims from this province.
‘I think the lawyers involved certainly were all expecting more to come forward, but we would not have necessarily expected 422 claims.’—Geoff Budden
