High Court strikes out Belfast residents' compensation claim for faulty Victoria Square apartment construction due to time limit expiration.
A compensation claim for faulty construction at Belfast's Victoria Square apartments has been struck out by the High Court, potentially leading to financial ruin for some residents. The residents were forced to leave their homes in 2011 due to structural defects, and have had to pay property costs since then. The owners took legal action against the property builders, Farrans and Gilbert Ash, along with the building's architects, who denied liability for the defects. The claim was dismissed due to a legislative time limit for mounting the case expiring.
