Lower courts, including the 3rd US Circuit Court Appeals, upheld the settlement agreement. The Lujan claimants appealed to #SCOTUS in October. SCOTUS in early 2024 rejected an emergency appeal from the same group of survivors.

In the #BoyScouts case, some of the survivors want to be able to sue independent councils that ran local scouting programs & third-party organizations, such as churches & civic groups, that supported the programs.
