Class Action Against the Clerics of Saint-Viator of Canada and the Institut Raymond-Dewar
On February 16, 2016, the Superior Court of Québec rendered a judgment approving a $30 million settlement for victims of sexual abuse at the former Montreal Institute for the Deaf.
Kugler Wechsler represented the Centre de la Communauté Sourde du Montréal Métropolitain (“CCSMM”) against the Institut Raymond-Dewar (formerly known as “Institut des Sourds de Montréal“) and Clercs de Saint-Viateur du Canada on behalf of victims of sexual abuse perpetrated by adults in authority at the institution.
