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.
