A lawyer leading a class action against state-owned insurer Southern Response says the Government could be facing costs of $700 million in quake insurance payments.
The Court of Appeal yesterday upheld an earlier ruling that found Southern Response was guilty of misleading and deceptive behaviour when it short-changed a Christchurch couple tens of thousands of dollars.
Grant Cameron is representing another 3000 claimants, who also allege Southern Response misled customers by withholding the true cost of rebuilding their quake-damaged homes.
Cameron speaks to Susie Ferguson.
