Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill 2022: Discussion
Ms Caroline Timmons:
If they take a case, the subrogation would allow the State to step into their shoes if they have taken a case. To the Deputy's point that there is no incentive for them to do that, I will take that point away and look at it in that regard. Obviously, it is the State's intention to pursue wrongdoers insofar as it can. The point the Deputy is making is something that I will have to examine a little further, perhaps with the advice of the Attorney General, and see if there is a position on it. I will not do that today, if that is okay, because we simply have not reached a position on it.
