More than 400 owners of leaky buildings have registered for a $100 million class action lawsuit seeking damages from cladding manufacturers.
Auckland lawyer Adina Thorn said registrations have come from throughout the country as well as Australia and Britain.
Thorn, who has extensive experience in representing victims of leaky buildings, said her lawsuit aimed to prove that cladding manufacturers sold faulty products, and will be funded on a “no win, no fee” basis by overseas litigation funders.
But before the funders, who remain anonymous, commit the money, Thorn said she needs to have signed up building owners with total damage of about $100m.
