| Residents at Goodna being briefed in 2012 on the proposed class action by Maurice Blackburn Lawyers. |
Maurice Blackburn Lawyers in conjunction with Litigation Funder IMF (Australia) is still undertaking the key preliminary work to determine if their proposed class action will proceed against the State Government and/or Seqwater, the operator of the Wivenhoe and Somerset Dams.
The issue at stake will be whether or not there was negligence in the operation of the dams in the lead up to the devastating Brisbane River floods of 11 and 12 January 2011.
The Greater Goodna Flood Group has consistently recommended that flood victims signs up for the Maurice Blackburn class action.
You can sign-up online 24/7 by clicking here.
There is one individual still going around telling people NOT to sign up for any class action.
The latest missive from that person states: "I still recommend folk do not sign
for any legal action until it is clear which, if any, is preferable."
This reminds us of the person who waited for the post-Christmas sales and then missed out on the item they so desperately wanted.
The Greater Goodna Flood Group is committed to helping people to receive justice on fair and reasonable terms following their losses almost 2 years ago.
Dilly-dallying in signing up for the flood class action is probably the dumbest thing flood victims could do.
Flood victims should seriously consider signing up now to ensure their rights are fully protected.
By listening to merchants of doom, flood victims might inadvertently miss critical deadlines which will apply to everyone seeking to join the class action.
