Poland’s Catholic Church has said it will not pay compensation to victims of priests who sexually abused children.
By Monika Scislowska
Rev Jozef Kloch said in comments aired by Polish Radio 1 that responsibility for compensation lies with the perpetrator.

Kloch was reacting to a €47,500 claim made by a 25-year-old victim against his parish and local church authorities after they failed to reach a settlement. The claim could now be taken to court, in what would be Poland’s first such case.

Of course this means they simply won't get paid.
I have very little doubt that the bankruptcies of dioceses inspire this particular bit of shirking.

Interesting details toward the end of the story on the Dominican Republic case.

1. Do you have a link to the Polish view of respondeat superior?

2. Sorry, rug, that's all I have, but I'll try to keep an eye on this process. Polish isn't one of

my languages, so progress may be slow.

3. I understand the point of your OP but there may be different variations of liability there.

Meanwhile, all I got from googling "polish torts" is this:
