I have spoken to Anusha Bradley and she wrote an article about it.

The 48k is small change compeared to what a Kings Council lawyer costs $1000 an hour thats about $650USD plus his side kicks at about $600 an hour i would think they have spent about $1 million trying to stay out of the news.
I live in New Zealand and what was reported was only a few of many cases that i know about ....there is many more.

july 23, 2024. jehovah's witnesses lose last ditch court case over abuse in care report.
jehovah's witnesses have failed in an eleventh hour attempt to block part of a lengthy report about abuse in care that is about them.. .

Jw gone bad, I live in New Zealand and the lawyer they hired was a "Kings council" at NZD$1000 an hour about $650 USD plus his side kicks.
To go to the high court is about $10.000NZD a day.
They were orded to pay costs to the crown for their appeal
My guess is this has cost them the thick end of 1 million dollars.
Nothing to hide nothing to fear but they have hidden plenty.
Just what i can tell them is enough to a a few guys locked up for a long time.

Article: Jehovah's Witnesses lose court fight to obtain abuse inquiry report before victims
by Tahoe injehovah's witnesses have tried - and failed - to get an advance copy of the abuse in care inquiry's final report into their church.. the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses australasia (ccjwa) filed an urgent claim in the high court in auckland on 21 june to obtain a copy of the final case study relating to the religious denomination in the inquiry's report, but the claim was dismissed.. it also unsuccessfully sought all relevant underlying documents supporting the case study.. in a separate case, the jehovah's witnesses also filed for leave to appeal to the supreme court after the court of appeal dismissed an earlier bid to avoid the scrutiny of the inquiry altogether.. rnz understands the ccjwa received and commented on a draft copy of the case study in may, but has yet to see a final draft.. if its high court claim had been successful, it could have led to the church receiving a copy before the government or abuse survivors had read the report.. jehovah's witnesses is the only religious group to take legal action against the commission.. it has taken similar action against public inquiries overseas, including in australia and the united kingdom.. in a statement, a jehovah's witnesses spokesperson said it had no choice but to go to court.. "we are in full agreement with the inquiry's objective to protect children but have serious concerns about the accuracy of the report regarding jehovah's witnesses.. "child protection is of utmost concern to jehovah's witnesses and we believe the people of new zealand, its decision-makers and most importantly survivors, deserve to be presented with accurate information.
we have no choice but to resort to court to address these issues.".
the inquiry is due to hand its final report to the governor-general on wednesday, wrapping up six years of work.. after that, it will be passed to internal affairs brooke van velden, who must table the report in parliament before it is made public.. that was expected to happen in the week beginning 22 july.. survivors of church abuse new zealand spokesperson and former jehovah's witnesses elder shayne mechen said former jehovah's witnesses members and survivors had been angered by the new court action.. "they are feeling angry and frustrated because it shows they [the church] don't care.".

Notformer , The branch was on 10 acres of prime land sold for i belive $52 million to another church. They had owned it for many years so a good capitial gain there.
As usual anyone who said anything was quicky dissmissed as "Specking out against the organization" ect.
The head man at the branch was given a flat next to a K.H and demoted to now a nobody insted of being worshiped everywhere he went.... the rest were layed off to go into the wilderness after many years serving there.
