Equine Influenza Class Action

Maurice Blackburn, with the assistance of Attwood Marshall Lawyers, intends to file a class action in the Federal Court of Australia. The class action will seek damages for individuals, clubs, businesses and not-for-profit organisations that suffered economic loss due to the outbreak of equine influenza in eastern Australia in August 2007.

What is the class action about?

The class action, to be conducted by Maurice Blackburn in association with Atwood Marshall, will hold the Commonwealth accountable for considerable losses incurred when the equine influenza outbreak spread across large parts of eastern Australia. The outbreak significantly affected the nation's thoroughbred breeding, racing and other equine communities between August 2007 and January 2008.
