The Bank of New Zealand is taking the Wellington City Council to court over the damage to a building in the 2016 Kaikōura quake.
A damages claim for more than $101 million against Wellington City Council over the now deconstructed Bank of New Zealand building on the waterfront has been revealed during a related court case. Wellington City Council (WCC) is being sued for more than $101m by banking giant BNZ for negligence over granting the building consent and issuing a code compliance certificate. However, council chief executive, Barbara McKerrow, says the council doesn’t believe it has any liability.
