The Archdiocese Lawsuit Against Insurers Dismissed Without Prejudice

On August 13, 2024, the Archdiocese voluntary dismissed its lawsuit against insurers related to insurance coverage issues. The case was dismissed without prejudice which means that the Archdiocese may re-file the complaint and re-start the case in the future. The Archdiocese voluntarily dismissed the case as part of an agreement made between the Committee, the Archdiocese, and the insurers to begin the process of mediation. The parties also agreed that if mediation stalls, the Archdiocese lawsuit against the insurers can start up again, and the Committee may be included as a formal party to that lawsuit.
