The judge presiding over the case filed by clerical sex abuse
victims, who are claiming financial compensation from the Church, turned
down the victims' request to abstain from hearing the case because he
is the president of the local Radio Maria Association.
Mr Justice Joseph R Micallef ruled there was no valid reason at law why he should step down from hearing the case.
Mr Justice Micallef, who is presiding over the victims’ case for financial compensation against the Church and two priests defrocked from the Missionary Society of St Paul, is the president of the local Radio Maria Association.
