Client Cases

(2015–2018)

Southern Response Unresolved Claims Group v Southern Response Earthquake Services Ltd 

GCA advanced a class action for former AMI policyholders, against SRESL, and organised litigation funding support. The proceedings alleged that Southern Response applied ‘a deliberate strategy to minimise policyholders claim entitlements’ in breach of the insurance policy and the law. After the Court of Appeal permitted the case to proceed the government quickly moved to settle the claims and proceedings were formally discontinued. A specialised private determination process then proceeded before retired-Justice Panckhurst to finalise quantum due to each policyholder.
