Statement Closed after initial enquiries Disabled facilities grants 27-Feb-2023
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about a wet room installed in his rental property in 2014. It is a claim of Council negligence and liability for property damage. These are legal issues only a court can decide, if the Council’s or contractor’s insurers have denied liability or do so in future. It would not be unreasonable for Mr X to take his claim to court to pursue the legal findings and financial outcome he seeks.
