Victims of clerical sex abuse have opened a constitutional challenge
requesting that their case for compensation from the church not be heard
by Mr Justice Joseph R. Micallef, who is also the president of the
Catholic-run Radju Marija.
The eleven victims had initially filed an application requesting that Mr Justice J.R Micallef abstain from hearing the case, but the judge turned down this request, saying that there was not a valid enough reason at law why he should stop hearing the case.
