Case Studies

Claim for repairs to a geothermal power station – quantum in excess of $150m
This claim involved alleged errors and omissions in the design of various aspects of a geothermal power station during its construction. The complexity of the project required efficient and effective management of significant volumes of information/documentation, and review of issues relating to loss mitigation works relative to the operation of the PI policy. Ultimately a substantial part of the claim was withdrawn and only a relatively small settlement made, less than $10m.
Claim for repairs to a coal loader dump station – quantum in excess of $38m
The claim resulted from alleged deficiencies in specialist sub-contractors works resulting in flooding of a dump station under construction. Ian was involved in investigations as to causation and also quantum of the main claim as well as settlement of the specialist subcontractors' claims, which were in excess of $2m. 
Damage to sewer lines caused by tree roots – quantum $65.00
The number of zeros at the end of a claim do not necessarily make it memorable or difficult, but relevant stakeholders may do. The claimant was irascible, the local Council, after a year of argument, ranging between angry and bored.  Ian attended a site meeting with Council officials and the claimant but neither party would converse. To break the impasse, with Councils approval he went inside with the claimant's plumber, agreed a quick scope and price, came out and told them all it had settled it for $65.00 - looks are sometimes priceless.
