The case involves two Metro Vancouver Catholic schools and allegations of abuse by Christian Brothers from Newfoundland and Labrador’s notorious Mount Cashel Orphanage.

B.C.’s Supreme Court has certified a class-action lawsuit against two Catholic schools and the Vancouver archbishop for abuse by Christian Brothers transferred from Newfoundland and Labrador’s Mount Cashel Orphanage.

The suit was initially filed in February 2021 with representative plaintiff Darren Liptrot. He said in the claim he attended Vancouver College from 1980 to 1985, for grades 8 to 12, and that Brother Edward English sexually abused him. Justice Simon Coval said the case relates back to the notorious physical and sexual abuse of children at the Mount Cashel Orphanage in St. John’s.

“The claim alleges that senior Christian Brothers orchestrated the transfers, despite knowing what had occurred at Mount Cashel, and that the transferees and other Christian Brothers went on to abuse students at the schools,” Coval said.
