Reply To: Child Victims Act now in effect in NYS

This law will has limited effect on yeshivas and Jewish day schools as they have limited assets, rely on fundraising to pay any short falls and are individually owned. The Catholic Church which runs all of their schools in a district and has lots of assets will be effected. Lawyers will not sue unless they know their is a good chance of them recovering money. Even if there is a strong case against the yeshiva and the plaintiff wins, the yeshiva could declare bankruptcy and since most yeshivas are in poor financial health, walk away without paying anything.
