Significant developments in St Patrick’s Day Bush Fires Class Actions

All four St Patrick’s Day bush fires class actions were today listed for directions in the Supreme Court of Victoria. An update in relation to each matter can be found below.

Garvoc Fire
The Garvoc Fire class action which involves approximately 40 fire victims continues to progress towards a trial. An order was made today to “close the class”. This means that if people impacted by the fire don’t register with Maddens by 22 March 2019 then they will not be able to receive any compensation if the matter is settled at mediation.
