Leaky building litigants claiming more than $200 million have succeeded in their latest round against building cladding manufacturer and supplier James Hardie over its Harditex, Monotek and Titan products.
Justice Christian Whata delivered a decision from the High Court at Auckland this month which was a victory for the owners of more than 1000 homes, commercial buildings and retirement village units clad in what they claim are defective James Hardie products.
The judge said the plaintiffs were 1236 residential homes, five commercial buildings and five retirement villages.
