Queensland flood victims are waiting on the Supreme Court Justice to make a decision on their almost nine-year class action against Seqwater and the Queensland Government.

The class action alleges that the Wivenhoe and Somerset dams were mismanaged before and during the 2011 floods to a degree that worsened the damage caused by the flood.

Lyn Lynch, one of the 6,800 victims of the flood involved with the action, says of NSW Supreme Court Justice Robert Beech-Jones, “I’m just hoping that whatever decision he makes, he makes it with enough backing that no one can contest it.”

Damage to Ms Lynch’s home is one of four scenarios Maurice Blackburn lawyers have used to make their argument in the class action.
