Adina Thorn exposes a possible cover-up by Auckland Council as to when they first became aware of leaky building issues. Adina Thorn speaks of her experience winning settlements for leaky building owners.
Leaky buildings have been a financial catastrophe for many homeowners after tens of thousands of defective houses were built in the 1990s and the 2000s.
Fixing them will cost billions of dollars, it is estimated.
Nowhere has that blow fallen more heavily than in Auckland, where most leaky homes were built.
Adina Thorn, a specialist litigation lawyer who has won settlements for leaky building owners, has been seeking Auckland Council documents going back two decades as she probes the origins of the problem.
