Bid by Christian Brother to stop legal action against him rejected
A legal bid by a Christian Brother to dismiss an action taken against him by a former pupil for alleged physical and sexual abuse on the grounds of delay has been rejected by the High Court.
The brother, a former primary school teacher and principle, had sought orders from the court dismissing the claim for inordinate and unreasonable delay on the part of the plaintiff in prosecuting and maintaining the claim and for want of prosecution.
