The case of CC v the wts and subsequent judgement against the wts would have to be the greatest boost for victims of paedophiles ever.
Does anyone know the outcome of this case please?

I strongly guess there will have to a trial before you can talk about an outcome ......................

Band on the Run
There was a trial. The trial judge's rulings were favorable to Conti. A jury found the WT liable with many millions of dollars in damages. The damage award was found to be excessive so it was lowered. It remains substantial. The appeals courts are in the process of addressing the legal questions. It seems to be taking quite a long time.

Five months - "Case on Conference List"
So in review all that time. ??? I assume the judge(s) have been busy reviewing the documents. Guess, next to come up can be "Oral Arguments."

WT lawyers have not taken the counsel at Matt. 5 where Jesus said “Be about settling matters quick ly with the one complaining against you at law..."

My husband was sued and without any appeals it took 7 years to get before a judge. He won, it was frivolous and extortionate from the get go, but once the judge saw it, it was over. This clearly is not that way AND she already won. I think the only extortion here is the WT's as they are the one that lost and is appealing. . . because they are hoping (I bet) that she will accept a smaller amount just to make it all go away. I guess that is something between parties so we will maybe not know unless it is accepted (as I think CA has to report all settlements now, too)

Just my two cents worth , I think the JW`s are just trying to wear her down with appeals and delays so she just gives up and takes a lump sum with a gag order in place , to prevent her speaking about it . I hope she holds out .
