Analects of Joseph Zwilling: On News That Lawsuit About Payouts to Abuse Victims Will Continue

 The Archdiocese of New York has been duking it out with insurer, Chubb, over payouts for abuse victims.  The latest skirmish was won by Chubb when the First Judicial Department of the New York Supreme Court’s Appellate Division overturned a previous ruling by a lower court that would have prevented the case from going forward.

From Joseph Zwilling: 

"Zwilling added that Chubb was “demonstrating that they would rather pay attorneys to litigate against the Archdiocese of New York and others to whom it issued policies rather than settle legitimate claims made by the victim-survivors of abuse.

“It is a cold, cynical, calculating decision by Chubb which is clearly more interested in protecting its bottom line than in honoring the policies they issued,” he said. "

And what is the Archdiocese doing?
