Damages suffered by Runcorn property owners within the Public Information Zone
giving rise to Class Action Compensation Claims
Case Summary
In 2023, when the Safety Advice Card published to property owners within the Public Information Zone by the Runcorn Site COMAH Operators was amended, the severity of impact on public health was drastically altered. The time period when the public was denied the opportunity of acting in an informed manner was some 20 years:-
From: the date of first publication in 2003
To: the date of Safety Card Correction in 2023
In 2023 the failings of the Runcorn Site COMAH Operators, the Environment Agency, and the Health & Safety Executive was revealed and made public when the advice of the revised COMAH Zone Safety Advice Card declared the true risk to those in the COMAH Zone, due to the DEADLY nature of small concentrations of Chlorine Gas, not previously publicised.
YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO CLAIM BECAUSE...
During the time period in which you bought your property, you were unaware of the true peril which its occupants are subject to.
You may be entitled to claim many thousands of pounds in compensation: a proportion of the value of your property.
The damages you have suffered occurred when you bought your home in reliance on the incorrect and unamended Safety Card, before the publication of revised guidance from the Runcorn Site COMAH Operators.
You will have been aware that your property is in the Runcorn COMAH Public Information Zone, covered by Control of Major Accident Hazard Regulations (2015).
You should have been aware of the Safety Card, first published in 2003, which is distributed to property owners and revised every 5 years.
Properties which could possibly be inundated with fatally toxic gas are worth much less than properties which are always safe to live in.
Mortgagees and Valuers
When you come to sell your property, your intending purchaser is very likely to require a mortgage. In the post 2023 circumstances, it is likely that valuers will caution prospective lenders about the advisability and risks of lending on what is now severely impaired security.
Mortgageability on normal terms, or at all, is now highly questionable.
Who is going to lend where the property could be inundated with fatally toxic gas with a minimum of warning?
For this compelling reason, your property's saleability & value are adversely affected.
In such cases, significant compensation should be justly payable.
