The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis won a federal judge's approval yesterday to impose an Aug. 3 deadline for alleged sexual-abuse victims to come forward with claims despite objections from victims' lawyers, Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reported today. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Kressel said that the August deadline, by which victims must file formal claims for compensation or potentially face challenges from the archdiocese, was not absolute and that claims could still be filed at any time. "This time period can be extended," he said. "That may or may not happen, but it is available."
