ghent - Belgian bishops and other church officials can not be held jointly and severally liable for the damage to victims of sexual abuse.

Forty victims had gone to court to recover damages jointly by church officials for negligence.

The Court of Appeal in Ghent declared the summons Thursday following the decision of the court null and void in 2013.,, Nowhere is mentioned who, where or when abused, '' said the court. The accusation is not concrete and specific enough and priests know not where they have to defend themselves, according to the court.

The Vatican was indicted, but the court ruled that the Holy See is immune from prosecution and added that the requirement of the victims,, no concrete fact '' is based.

The victims may still appeal to.
