On June 29, 2021, the Superior Court of Québec rendered a judgment approving a settlement of $11.6 million in the sexual abuse class action against Les Servites de Marie de Québec, Servites de Marie and Collège Servite. The settlement amount represented virtually the entire value of the defendants’ assets (other than personal effects and certain movable property).
Class members consisted of “All persons who were sexually abused by a religious member of the religious congregation Servites de Marie, while they were students, guests or candidates for admission at Collège Servite (formerly, Collège Notre-Dame des Servites), between 1948 and 2007.”
In order to benefit from the settlement, class members had until November 12, 2021 to submit a claim.
