In October 2018 the Government launched the Greater Christchurch Claims Resolution Service (the GCCRS) – a new service to help broker outstanding residential earthquake insurance claims in Christchurch. A large proportion of outstanding claims are stalled by apparent engineering disputes. Engineering New Zealand’s small in-house legal team led the establishment of an independent engineering service to navigate the differences of engineering opinion, in support of claims resolution through the GCCRS – from initial planning, design, multi-stakeholder engagement and the implementation of the service itself. This project has been operating successfully since the end of 2018.
