St. John's, Newfoundland -
Reaction to the latest court decision concerning Mount Cashel victims is mixed.
An Ontario court ruled Wednesday in favour of a controversial plan to distribute $15.5 million to the sexual abuse victims from the orphanage. The proposal outlines levels of compensation and includes a clause that would see claimants sign away their right to sue the government once they've accepted compensation.
Don Burrage says if other former residents chose not to accept money now, they still have the right to sue the government.
The money comes from the Christian Brothers of Ireland in Canada.
That's the defunct teaching order that ran the orphanage, where dozens of boys were raped and beaten from the 1960's to late 1980's.
