Well spotted Hedda. The latest development in the False Allegations Industry is exactly this - Bent Lawyers persuading false accusers (or their parents/heirs) to sue in Civil Courts hoping that wealthy people will pay them to go away. Truly shocking.
This seems most odd..the father of a deceased (drug overdose) former choir boy who is on record as telling his mother he was never abused, is suing Cardinal Pell, now in retirement & living in The Vatican.
Never heard of a similar case but reading between the lines I reckon this is lawyers putting pressure on the Catholic Church for a settlement.
