Part Seven: Evil Exploitation of Children through Lawyers

The WA Legislation known as the Statute of Limitation put a ridiculous limit on the time frame in which a survivor of abuse in institutions, government and church iwere able to sue for compensation. The Royal Commission into Institution Abuse pressured the Government to lift the limitation statute. That meant that hundreds of survivors sought compensation through Law Firms that offered their services taking fees from compensation payouts. That has culminated in years of waiting for Government and Church Lawyers to make offers at mediation meetings. One such client was with the Law Firm 5 years and died before any compensation was received. Charges on the foster family abusers were laid for him and another boy, and the police dropped the charges. He wanted his day in court, and was told that would happen, but there had been no application to court. The Lawyer representing this man was deceitful and totally disreputable. Settling at mediation means less than could be awarded in a trial, and is shrouded in secrecy often requiring a gag order preventing any public awareness.
