Wildriggs Rendering Site (Penrith)
Environmental
solicitors at Hugh James have been appointed as the lead
solicitors in the Wildriggs Rendering Site Group Litigation. The
group action claim is against the operators of the Alba Proteins
factory for compensation in relation to the odour nuisance
emanating from the site. The claim is for compensation for loss of
enjoyment of your home caused by the odour which will include
issues such as not being able to sit out in the garden, not being
able to open windows and doors in the summer and so on. We will
also seek an injunction to prevent the continuation of the nuisance
in future if there is evidence in support of such a claim.
The High Court
ordered that all claims should be registered by 4pm on 30th
September 2011, and as such the deadline to join the group action
has now passed. The Court has ordered that any applications to join
the group post-30th September 2011 must show wholly exceptional
circumstances as to why the applicant did not join the group before
the cut-off date passed.
Hugh James act
on behalf of around 90 families who allege that the odour nuisance
from the site causes an unreasonable interference with the use and
enjoyment of their properties. Now the claimant group has closed,
the case will return to Court shortly for further case
management directions.
