| Rod Hodgson, Principal Maurice Blackburn Lawyers Queensland, addresses the meeting with John Walker IMF (Australia) left and Goodna Councillor Paul Tully |
A meeting of 400 flood victims was held at the Goodna State School Community Hall tonight.
Flood victims from Goodna, Redbank, Gailes and other parts of Ipswich as well as Brisbane's western suburbs attended the meeting to listen to an update from Maurice Blackburn Lawyers and IMF Australia (litigation funders) on a possible class action against Seqwater.
It is likely further flood modelling on behalf of potential claimants will be completed by the end of 2012 with a decision to be made on a class action at that time.
Class actions can often run for years but there will be pressure on the new state government to resolve any negligence claim quickly and fairly.
