Top court set to hear case involving crotch-grabbing nun s sexual intentPublication: CBC News -Lien: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/supreme-court-residential-schools-1.4855650 An Indigenous man who was denied compensation on the basis that a nun had no sexual intent when she grabbed his genitals takes his case to Canada's top court this week amid a tense power struggle between a judge overseeing implementation of the Indian residential school class-action settlement and the head of the process that awards payouts to victims.
