Claims against THE Church
Claims against the Diocese and religious groups or organisations

The Church has been well documented as being a place where those in the organisation exploit their position and power in order to abuse children.

Those who commit such abuse are often seen as ‘pillars of the community’ but use this as a cloak in order to take advantage of others.

Bringing a Civil Claim

We appreciate that is is not easy to make contact and discuss your experiences. We are happy to discuss your potential claim on a non-committal basis and provide you with the opportunity to meet in person to make the process as comfortable as possible.

Limitation

The law says that you have three years from the date of an incident to bring your claim, or three years from your 18th birthday if you were a child when it occurred. However, even if you are out of time, you may still be able to bring a claim for abuse.

We have extensive expertise in properly addressing limitation and ensuring that individuals obtain the justice that they seek.

Funding

If most cases we can offer you a No Win, No Fee Agreement. This means that you will not have to pay us unless we are successful in your claim. If we are successful in your claim you will need to pay us a success fee which is capped at no more than 25% of your compensation.

If your claim is unsuccessful, we simply do not get paid.
