World News | Judge upholds Boy Scouts’ $2.4 billion bankruptcy plan

Dover (USA), March 28 (AP) — A federal district court judge upheld approval of a $2.4 billion bankruptcy reorganization plan to resolve tens of thousands of child sex abuse claims against the Boy Scouts of America.

The ruling, released Tuesday, rejected arguments by non-settlement insurers and attorneys representing dissenting abuse survivors that the restructuring plan was not proposed in good faith and improperly disenfranchised insurers and survivors.

The ruling follows a ruling in September in which U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Laurie Selber Silverstein approved the plan. The plan will keep the Irving, Texas-based Boy Scouts of America operating while compensating tens of thousands of men who claim they were sexually abused as children while participating in the Boy Scouts.
