"Supreme Court Justice Alito Pauses $2.46 Billion Boy Scouts Abuse Settlement"

US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has temporarily halted the Boy Scouts of America's $2.46 billion settlement of sex abuse claims, giving the court more time to consider a request by 144 abuse claimants to block the settlement. The claimants argue that the deal unlawfully prevents them from pursuing lawsuits against non-bankrupt organizations involved in the abuse. The settlement involves over 82,000 men who were abused as children in the Boy Scouts, and the delay has suspended all work on the settlement, including evaluating claims and issuing payments to survivors.
