On 16 July 2024 Grant Shand commenced proceedings in the Napier High Court against the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council for damage caused in the flooding on 26 June 2024 that damaged about 500 properties. Here is the website with information about the claim. The intent is for this to be an opt out class action. People who are insured for the loss and damage will need to check their policy wording to establish whether the insurer may have rights to bring proceedings and give notices in any class action.
