What a shame. Had to happen sooner or later even there, I suppose.
Flipside in other places - some folk make tidy pocket money making spurious drift claims. That is, they know most insurers will roll over and settle out of court, because it is the cheapest option, even if the claim is obviously fiction.
They even caught a farmer contaminating one of his own dams over here, with endo no less, to try on a drift claim.
Expect a rash of claims now, I suppose.
