This month, a US federal judge threw out of court a class action filed on behalf of an estimated 10,000 former Child Migrants. U.S. District Judge Paul Crotty dismissed the case because:
- the statue of limitations had expired
- the Order of the Sisters of Mercy is not a legal entity
- there is no evidence that the Christian Brothers in Australia were acting under the authority of Rome
