THE Christian Brothers have reached new settlements with some of the former students who were abused at its West Australian boarding schools and previously given unjust payouts.
AT the end of public hearings by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, which looked at its Tardun, Bindoon, Clontarf and Castledare facilities in WA, the Christian Brothers undertook to re-examine cases that had been settled on unjust and unreasonably low terms.
Brother Peter Clinch said 130 requests for re-examination were received.
By the end of last month, 64 of those cases had been re-examined and new settlements reached.
