Legal action brought by Former students of St Bede’s College was stopped without reaching any conclusions, out of court settlement or apologies
Legal action against Salford Diocese by alleged victims of sexual abuse has been dropped.
Former students of St Bede’s College in Whalley Range, Manchester, were suing church bosses over claims they were sexually abused by Catholic priests.
But the court process has now been discontinued without any out of court settlement or apology.
Although a lawyer for the former pupils says she is in the process of negotiating a formal apology.
The decision to stop the legal case comes despite three ex-pupils waiving their right to anonymity in January to talk publicly about their suffering at the hands of senior staff.
