Closing arguments began Wednesday in a civil lawsuit led by former
Mount Cashel residents who claim church officials ignored reports of
horrific abuse at the orphanage in Newfoundland.
Lawyers for about 60 claimants are in provincial Supreme Court, and say the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation of St. John's is liable for incidents dating back to the 1940s. Lawyer Geoff Budden said church officials knew or ought to have known what was happening.
