Bounty Law

The liquidator appointed to investigate a class action over Walton Construction’s collapse is now looking to file his own case against National Australia Bank, the company’s former director, and the restructuring firm hired before the construction company’s demise.

A group of contractors have launched a $78 million class action against National Australia Bank, two insolvent units of Waltons Australia and the company’s director, seeking compensation for unpaid work done prior to the company’s collapse.

A judge has discontinued a class action brought against a Queensland law firm over allegedly non-compliant conditional costs agreements, after finding no evidence that anyone other than the lead plaintiff was interested in bringing a claim.
