Potentially tens-of-thousands apartment owners of apartments over three storeys high are facing costly remediation bills to replace flammable cladding because of a legal loophole that prevents neither dodgy builders nor insurers from being liable. From The AFR:
The loophole in a 2003 agreement between state governments and the industry could be used by developers and insurers to shift the potentially huge cost of replacing dangerous cladding on high-rise buildings onto owners or taxpayers.
