HVG Lawyers Hit Back on Class Action on Alucobond
Alucobond supplier Halifax Vogel Group (HVG) and its manufacturer 3A Composites were targeted in a class action by apartment owners in a Sydney building. They are being represented by William Roberts Lawyers in the first combustible cladding class action in Australia. They claim that the cladding on their building does not meet standards applicable to consumer protection laws and that 3A Composites and Halifax Vogel Group should pay for it to be replaced, as well as compensation for expenses such as higher insurance premiums. HVG has hit back, the panels comply with all relevant laws and codes, including the National Construction Code. It argues that it was the decisions of consultants and contractors that led the panels to be used in ways that were hazardous and led to a risk of fire. HVG also contends that under the Australian Consumer Law or the Trade Practices Act. In its statement, HVG argues that the Alucobond panels were not goods for use or consumption as defined by ACL or the Trade Practices Act and anyone being supplied with the panels was not a consumer under those laws.
