SPECIAL INVESTIGATION: More than 100 home-owners have joined a class action against steel building mesh suppliers, as a Stuff investigation reveals widespread concern about builders’ cost-cutting.
Adina Thorn, the lawyer heading the proposed court case, is this weekend calling for a government inquiry into dodgy mesh. The questions should be, “what has gone wrong, why, and recommend how to fix it,” she said. “Experts suggest a new testing regime be introduced for steel – perhaps changes to the standards, perhaps government audits on steel manufacturers and suppliers.”
