Resolved Class Actions

On February 16, 2016, the Superior Court of Québec rendered a judgment approving a $30 million settlement for victims of sexual abuse at the former Montreal Institute for the Deaf.

Kugler Kandestin represented the Centre de la Communauté Sourde du Montréal Métropolitain (“CCSMM”) against l’Institut Raymond-Dewar (formerly known as “Institut des Sourds de Montréal “) and Clercs de Saint-Viateur du Canada on behalf of victims of sexual abuse perpetrated by adults in authority at the institution.

Class members had until September 2, 2016 to submit a claim.
