Class action on behalf of sexual abuse victims at Collège Servite (formerly Collège Notre-Dame des Servites) in Ayer’s Cliff
Update – November 21, 2018: Kugler Kandestin files class action seeking compensatory damages and $15 million in punitive and exemplary damages.
The class action seeks access to justice for victims of sexual abuse during their childhood by religious members of the Servite de Marie Order associated with Collège Servite in Ayer’s Cliff. The class action alleges that the reprehensible and unacceptable sexual abuse was perpetrated systematically for several decades by at least 15 religious members.

- Amended Motion to Institute Proceedings dated May 23, 2019
- Motion to Institute Proceedings dated November 21, 2018
- Judgment dated Septembre 17, 2018
- Application for Authorization to Institute a Class Action
