2. The appellants are former residents of a children’s home called
Nazareth House at Cardonald in Glasgow which was run by the religious
order known as the Poor Sisters of Nazareth. In May 2000 they raised
separate actions of damages against the respondents in the Court of
Session for loss, injury and damage in respect of physical abuse which
they claim to have suffered during their time there.
They maintain that they were regularly assaulted and subjected to cruel punishments, as a result of which they suffered pain and distress and long-standing psychological or psychiatric problems and that these led to their being disadvantaged in the workplace and to financial loss. The respondents deny these allegations. They also say that the actions are time barred, as the appellants’ allegations relate to events that are said to have happened many years ago.
