Former Ashley Youth Detention Centre detainees alleged they had suffered, witnessed, or were threatened with sexual abuse, serious physical abuse and false imprisonment while at the centre.
The Supreme Court of Tasmania is set to rule on a $75 million settlement for former detainees of the Ashley Youth Detention Centre in what is Tasmania 's first class action .
"It's fair to say that Ashley has been notorious for many decades. It has been the subject of numerous government inquiries dating back to the 1920s," lawyer for the former detainees, Lachlan Armstrong KC, told the court on Monday. He said the court would supervise that process, which he estimated could take until the second half of next year.
