In short:
A law firm has resolved five Tasmanian claims for historical child sexual abuse, averaging over $1.5 million per claim — to a total of $7.85 million.
The claims allege abuse by former paediatric nurse James “Jim” Geoffrey Griffin and another nurse at the Launceston General Hospital, with some claims extending to other settings.
What’s next?
A lawyer involved in the successful legal action says her firm was continuing to receive other calls of allegations, and understands there will likely be other victim-survivors with other law firms.
