Diocese of Burlington to withdraw bankruptcy filing
First source report
The Diocese of Burlington has moved to withdraw its bankruptcy filing, which was originally initiated two years ago to address sexual abuse claims. In a statement released Sept. 30, Bishop John McDermott cited a lack of progress in the case and mounting legal and administrative expenses that now exceed $2 million.
Bishop McDermott noted that no funds have been awarded to claimants thus far. He also described a recent move by the creditors’ committee to include parishes and schools in the settlement as adversarial. A hearing regarding the motion to withdraw the Chapter 11 filing is scheduled for Dec. 8.
