Bowen and another v JL [2017] EWCA Civ 82, [2017] All ER (D) 206 (Feb)
The Court of Appeal allowed the appellant Archbishop and Scout Association’s appeal against the judge’s decision awarding the respondent damages for sexual assaults committed by a priest and scout group chaplain. The judge had erred in disapplying the limitation period and had erred in having quoted AB and others v Nugent Care Society; R v Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council [2009] All ER (D) 308 (Jul) and stated that he would apply it, implicitly irrespective of any factual findings he made.
