Application to Become a Class Action to be heard in February 2026
The Limery has applied to the Napier High Court for the current High Court proceeding against the Hawkes Bay Regional Council to become a class action for the benefit of all Wairoa people that suffered loss in the floods on 26 June 2024. In the court proceedings the evidence from a person involved in the management of the bar over many years will be extremely important. Robert Cram, now 92, was involved in bar management for about 34 years until 1989. The plaintiffs have asked the High Court to hear Mr Cram’s evidence now and the Napier High Court will take the evidence on video.
