Law firm Adina Thorn Lawyers is renewing its efforts to persuade home owners to sign up to a class action lawsuit against steel mesh suppliers, in the wake of a $540,000 fine handed down to Brilliance Steel on Friday.
Brilliance had earlier pleaded guilty to 20 charges under the Fair Trading Act for misleading customers about whether some its steel had been tested and certified as complying with a new earthquake safety standard.
Thorn said it was expecting a separate announcement within days on the penalty Steel & Tube would face after it pleaded guilty to 24 charges as a result of same the Commerce Commission investigation into mesh steel.
