Client Cases

(2001–2004)

Paul Zentveld v Crown

A derivative of the Lake Alice class action which alleged corrupt practices by government agencies in the course of the Crown making payouts to claimants following a second round of determinations by retired Court of Appeal Judge, Sir Rodney Gallen. Mr Zentveld's claims were upheld by the court and he received his full entitlement under the Determination, damages and costs. A very large number of other claimants were then correctly paid.
