in Beca Carter v Wellington City Council [2024] NZSC 117 the Supreme Court decided that the 10 year limitation period under s393(2) Building Act 2024 did not apply to a claim for contribution under s17(1)(c) Law Reform Act 1936. So, WCC was entitled to seek contribution from Beca Carter to the claim brought against the WCC by the BNZ about damage to its building in the Kaikoura earthquake in 2016.
