Abstract
This paper only considers two recommendations, namely Recommendations 94 and 95 that relate to the legal structure of
the Church in Australia and only in relation to law reform for the Catholic Church
(the Church). Recommendations 94 and 95 in the Redress and Civil Litigation
Report arose as a consequence of survivors of child sexual abuse being unable to
either properly identify a relevant legal entity to sue, or being unsuccessful on
legal technicalities when they did commence an action. These issues do not just
arise for plaintiffs wishing to commence legal action for compensation relating to
child sexual abuse.
