Did you know that a few strata building class actions have been underway in Australia since 2020?
Well, it has because William Roberts Lawyers and Omni Bridgeway [litigation funders] have been running two class actions in the Federal Court about combustible cladding on strata and other high rise buildings as follows.
Vitrabond PE & FR Cladding Class Action
Alucobond PE & Plus Cladding Class Action
As their names suggest, they are actions for building with those brands of cladding for damages to cover the cost of replacing the cladding and associated costs against the manufacturers based on product liability claims and claims for false or misleading representations and conduct.
The hearings have started, the cases are ongoing but not yet resolved.
There are many participating strata buildings waiting to win [or settle] and collect their money.
And, there’s even a live stream of the hearings [when they’re on] you can watch.
You can find out more about these two class actions and maybe even sign up here and here.
And, we’re watching their progress with baited strata breaths.
