Ms Sarah Neary:
I reiterate Mr. O'Connor's point that it is only defects covered up during pyrite remediation and considered to be other defects caused by the pyrite that HomeBond would be pursued for. General defects that are not the result of the pyrite in the hardcore are not covered by the scheme. There is no provision in the Act for that.
