I skimmed through the opinion. The appeals court found there was no duty to warn, but that there was a duty of care to direct and supervise congregation activities such as field service, and that the jury could reasonably have concluded based on the evidence that the congregation and WTS acted negligently in supervising field service activities given their knowledge that Kendrick had molested children.
But to correct a misconception about the dollar amount that Candace is entitled to should this decision stand - it is not $7 million. It's about $1.9 million from the WTS, and about $900k from the congregation. It's possible that her attorneys could run into difficulty collecting on the judgment against the congregation, but if this stands, she'll certainly get the $1.9 million against the WTS, after attorneys' fees. The $7 million represents the total compensatory award, including 60% against Kendrick that she will not collect on.
It's not as groundbreaking as if the court would have found a duty to warn, but it's a victory for prevention of child abuse and holding accountable those who turn a blind eye to it.
