Litigation has partially succeeded against building materials manufacturer and supplier James Hardie over allegations of weathertightness issues with its products.

Justice Mary Peters in the High Court at Auckland released a decision yesterday in the case heard last November for interlocutory or interim applications.

The case was brought by 365 plaintiffs with 1075 residential dwellings, units or buildings worth more than $200 million and five retirement village businesses of NZX-listed Metlifecare with properties at Te Rapa, Waitakere, Dannemora, Green Bay in west Auckland and Paraparaumu north of Wellington.
