Govt pledges fund for Southern Response-affected homeowners

From Checkpoint, 6:18 pm on 14 December 2020

The government has announced a package which aims to pay out Christchurch home-owners who were short changed by Southern Response.

It has estimated about 3000 people will be eligible for the financial package but the government won't say how much it's going to cost.

Most of them are already taking part in a class action led by Brendan and Colleen Ross and their lawyer, Grant Cameron.

But things are getting messy for home-owners with another law firm launching a class action on Monday.
