Fiona and Macca talk to Michael Magazanic about the controversial high-court judgement that states Catholic Priests are not employed by the Church, therefore the Church is not accountable for the actions of abusive priests.
The Catholic church has won a landmark case limiting its liability for the abuse of children by priests not under its direct employment.
Lawyers immediately warned the case could have “far-reaching” consequences for abuse survivors and called for legislative change to ensure institutions were held to account.
Last year, Victoria’s highest court delivered an unprecedented ruling that the church was vicariously responsible for the abuse of a five-year-old child, known as DP, by assistant priest Father Bryan Coffey.
Vicarious liability is typically used to hold employers responsible for the wrongful or negligent actions of their employees during the course of their employment – regardless of whether the employer was at fault.
