Nevan is leading a group of local businesses in a legal case to
obtain compensation for loss of income due to the grounding of Rena in
October 2011 and subsequent oil spill that impacting the coast across
the wider Bay of Plenty.
Their legal advice that an appeal would be a waste of money, says Nevan.
“We are not sure what the total amount of the claims are, we are not sure if there are any others,Two Tone stainless steel ring with Lords Prayer and Cross Design Sizes. any other claims that are going to be forced under that $11.5 million cap.
“And
we are not sure if the Swedish Club themselves aren’t going to make a
claim under that cap – and force local businesses out even more.”
The Swedish Club could claim against the $11.The steering wheel had a wooden cSuper Dry Cabinets,5 million for its settlement with the Government, says Nevan.
“That’s
against what the government said was going to happen, but since they
have walked away from the whole deal, we don’t have much confidence in
the good faith of The Swedish Club.”
The Rena owners and insurers say Nevan’s claim that local businesses lost the court case is wrong.
Nevan
was asking the court to determine whether further information should
be provided by the owners/insurers to assist in his challenge to the
application to establish a fund to settle claims.
The court
ruled that Nevan already has sufficient information to decide whether
to or not to challenge the application and noted that Nevan, whose
claim is for $3000,Shop the best selection of stainless steel necklace

application to establish an $11.3million fund for legitimate claims to
be paid from. The Swedish Club’s plan is to do as little as possible,
until they get permission to leave the Rena aft section on the reef,
says Nevan.
“Now that Mr Lancaster has withdrawn his challenge,
all affected businesses should in due course be able to lodge their
claims in the High Court,” says a statement from NZ spokesman for the
owners and insurers Hugo Shanahan at Sweeney Vesty.
“The owner
and The Swedish Club have only been provided with details of a handful
of claims, so they don’t know how many legitimate claims exist, and for
what amount. If the claims admitted by the High Court are within the
$11.3 million fund, they can expect to be paid in full.”
In a
statement from the owners and insurers they say Nevan’s argument that
forcing the them to remove the wreck as the only way of ensuring an
economic benefit to the local economy is simplistic and shows a limited
understanding of the reality of international trade and insurance.
“In
the first place, only a fraction of the costs will benefit the local
economy – most will flow to the international salvage industry,” says
Hugo Shanahan from
“As always, insurance costs will eventually be passed back onto businesses and consumers.The Brilliant Polish of a tungsten ring
What is Tungsten? As a primary-industry based economy heavily reliant
on trade to support economic growth, the local and national economy
have more to lose than any likely short-term benefit. Mr Lancaster’s
suggestion may not represent the actual value he talks of when
considering all the facts.”
Nevan says if The Swedish Club is
forced to remove the entire wreck, it will bring another $300 million
into the local economy.
“That’s money coming from outside NZ, that’s half as big as The Hobbit,” says Nevan.
“That type of business coming into the Bay of Plenty would be a huge boost.
“As
far as I’m concerned the longer they have to work on that boat and the
more money they have to spend on it the better for the local economy.
We could use that $300 million boost.
“All those companies
doing well out of it, I want them to keep doing well. I want the
Swedish Club to spend three times as much as they have already spent on
