We Say, You Say: Southern Response

Neighbourly.co.nz

The Supreme Court has unanimously dismissed an appeal by government insurer Southern Response to stop two Cantabrians' legal action against them to considered be representative of 3000 other similar claimants.

Respondents Brendan and Colleen Ross said that Southern Response had left them $100,000 out of pocket and the Supreme Court made the landmark decision to uphold their case on an opt-out basis, which allowed the other claimants to be represented in legal proceedings.

The decision means that if the government pays out in one case, they must pay out to the 3000 others, lawyers estimate this to cost the taxpayer $5 million.

Are you still experiencing financial difficulty as a result of the earthquakes?

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
