Keith Coffison is at his wits end in a battle with Auckland Council over a leaky home issue – and signing up to a novel legal process for justice.
Coffison’s case for damages is a modest $10,000, but it’s become a personal matter around the health of his daughter who suffers from a hole in her heart.
He doesn’t blame the council for his daughter Jasmine’s medical condition, but says a leaky issue that made her bedroom cold and damp made her really sick and added to the condition.
Coffison has agreed to be part of a class action against councils being put together by Auckland law firm Adina Thorn Lawyers.
