Recommendation
69. A redress scheme should take the following steps to improve transparency and accountability:
<snip>
e. The scheme should publish data, at least annually, about:
i. the number of applications received
ii. the institutions to which the applications relate
iii. the periods of alleged abuse
iv. the number of applications determined
v. the outcome of applications
vi. the mean, median and spread of payments offered
vii. the mean, median and spread of time taken to determine the application
viii. the number and outcome of applications for review

So the adverse publicity is not going to go away any time soon!

by Lemonp in

the royal commission published it's redress report today.

it is a 668 page document, but it is very interesting.

all the recommendations they make are in harmony with what all other institutions will accept.

From the Executive Summary, page 41:

Standard of proof
We are satisfied that the standard of proof for a redress scheme should be lower than the common law standard of proof. In all of the circumstances, we are satisfied that ‘reasonable likelihood’ should be the standard of proof adopted for the redress scheme. Although in many cases it may make little difference whether the standard is plausibility or reasonable likelihood, we consider that reasonable likelihood can be applied as a higher standard than plausibility.

Recommendation
57. ‘Reasonable likelihood’ should be the standard of proof for determining applications for redress.

1,006 was the number of cases.

The number of victims was at least 1,857.

$65,000 x 1,857 = $120,705,000

Thank you :)

So a current JW perceives a talk by a member of the governing body to be apostate lies!? :D

Ah ok, I opened the link in another browser and I could see a few FB comments. It seems I have to add the FB comments plugin if I want to see more and this is against my anti-FB tracking policy ;)

The screams of "apostate lies" have already started pouring in to the post.

Am I missing something? I see only 6 comments on that thread.
