Overview
In May 2021, the NSW Supreme Court approved a partial settlement with Sunwater and the State of Queensland, who are two of the three defendants. The value of the partial settlement is $440 million and covers 50 per cent of the liability for the losses suffered by group members.
The Court has appointed Maurice Blackburn as the Administrator of the Settlement Scheme. The Settlement Scheme (the Scheme) has been approved by the Court and establishes who is eligible to receive compensation and how the settlement will be distributed. The Scheme is designed to provide a fair and reasonable process for all participants.
Update: November 2024 - Settlement Administration Conclusion
All Residual Payments were made to all eligible Claimants in September 2024, and all eligible Claimants received a Remittance Notice relating to their payment.
On 4 November 2024, the Supreme Court of New South Wales made orders dismissing the Proceedings. The Settlement Administration is now finished.
