ThenNow Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Effectively attacking all the bases to say COs are sufficiently one in the same with BSA. That's a gross simplification, but anyway. It's well articulated and and interesting read, but I decline to summarize. III. Conclusion For the reasons above and those argued at the confirmation trial, the Dumas & Vaughn Claimants argue that the third-party releases and channeling injunctions sought in this case are not supported by the law or the evidentiary record. 2022.04.22 Dumas & Vaughn Letter Brief (stamped).pdf Edited April 22, 2022 by ThenNow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are worthy of honor for their courage and bravery, but they didn't volunteer to be abused, and were basically forced to come forward by the BSA going bankrupt. Honoring the folks who helped push the BSA through bankruptcy in the same press relief is utterly tone deaf. I'd expect nothing else from National. Who's giving them PR advice? Survivors should ask the BSA for a Silver Buffalo Medal. 🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Dr. Kennedy for taking the lead on the TCC to help improve BSA's youth protection. If they want to do something, then give actual names and statements on what was done. Otherwise, it seems like platitudes. I won't come down too hard on the BSA. It is good they did mention survivors as they were awarding individual's whose goal was to minimize payment to survivors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle1993 Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 Welp... April came and went with no decision. Any estimate from the court on timing for a ruling?

He and they seem very intent on following through with both YP mirroring the BSA and caring for survivors in their midst. I believe they/he should be leading the CO portion of the YPC. That's my take, based on all I've seen, heard, read and learned along the way. Agreed. Recall also from testimony that there is a bell curve of CSA claims, and it markedly dropped off in the 90s. We need to continue our YPT efforts, but I don't see it becoming a problem again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadChannel70 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Gulf Coast Health Bankruptcy Plan Rejected Because of Releases (bloomberglaw.com) Gulf Coast Health Bankruptcy Plan Rejected Because of Releases The plan improperly provides that third parties would be releasing non-debtors from liquidation claims without those claimants’ consent, Judge Karen B. Owens of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware said at a hearing Wednesday. Owens said she would have otherwise approved the plan. The plan would have allowed creditors to recover more than they would from a Chapter 7 liquidation, passing a key test for court confirmation, she ...
