Our Landmark Win For a Victorian Abuse Survivor with a Past Settlement

A Rightside Legal client has had a major victory in the Victorian Supreme Court, with the Court effectively ripping up an old, unfair settlement agreement he made with the Catholic Church more than 20 years ago.

The win opens the door to survivors with unfair deeds to sue for proper compensation.

It doesn’t matter if you had a lawyer. It doesn’t matter if you signed a deed. It doesn’t matter if you were paid money.

2.45 million dollar payout to Rightside client abused by Adderley

Rightside Legal has secured a record breaking 2.45 million dollar compensation payment for a man who survived abuse by former Bunbury priest and Aquinas College teacher Bertram Adderley.

At Rightside we don’t have a string of expensive offices, we don’t have dozens of partners and we don’t have expensive marketing campaigns to fund. What we do is prepare your claim properly and fight hard for 100% of what your claim is worth.

We understand that injured or ill people looking for a lawyer are often anxious and uncertain about the whole legal process. We’ll do our best to eliminate the uncertainties.

Praise for our Lawyers

Although it was 7 months ago that I received the compensation payment, it is only now that I’m feeling the real benefits. This is so unbelievably helpful and nothing I had expected in my life. Life feels very different for me right now. I can’t quite take it in, but I do know that I am grateful to you for the work done.

You and your team did a thorough and painstaking job of investigating and mounting a comprehensive case to ensure a positive outcome. Well done. I have no hesitation in singing your praises and would recommend your services in the future.

I was most impressed with the caring but professional manner in which you dealt with all aspects of this ordeal. You were always mindful of our feelings yet clear and firm with your advice. I also acknowledge that you always had the capacity to go beyond what would normally be expected of you.
