Adversary Proceeding

On January 15, 2021, the Diocese of Syracuse initiated an adversary proceeding against insurers who issued insurance policies to the Diocese of Syracuse at times during which survivors were sexually abused. The adversary proceeding, which is an ancillary proceeding connected to the Diocese of Syracuse’s bankruptcy case, is designed to resolve disputes between the Diocese of Syracuse and its insurers regarding whether the Diocese of Syracuse’s insurance policies cover the claims of sexual abuse survivors.
