The buildings were built in the 70's using dodgy materials that just passed mustard (safety) and now, because building safety practices have advanced over the years, all these buildings have failed the modern day safety inspections (oh what a surprise) and all those involved are washing their hands of it by saying 'well, it passed safety inspections back in the 70's thus not our problem'. Someone has to pay and it shouldn't be the home owners.
Not quite Dodge, the buildings have always been SAFE !! Just a bit
chilly to live in ? They became aUNSAFE only when they were clad
with this insulation to make them warmer and to improve their
appearance!!
Unfortunately this cladding turned out to be highly inflammable !!
This fact was hidden and falsified by the manufacturers of this
product in order to get the cladding contract using their product !
All this has now come out in court although the judge still has to
make his ruling !
To me the issue is cut and dried but when lawyers are involved it
seems justice has a habit of flying out of the window ??
Some of the companies involved are allready filing for bankruptcy!
And the majority shareholders in the larger firms have had over
3yrs to dispose of their shares and so avoid having to pay any
claims for compensation that might result from what amounts to
criminal negligence imo??
Donkeyman! 👎🤔🤔👎
