Vodafone to Face Class-Action Lawsuit Over Australian Network Problems
Published on:
Vodafone Australia is facing a class action lawsuit over its network problems, after the local law firm, Piper Alderman said that it would proceed with previously announced plans to sue the company.
The legal firm has been calling for Vodafone customers to join its lawsuit action following repeated network problems in 2010 and 2011. Vodafone has since carried out a major network upgrade programme to deal with the issues.
Sasha Ivantsoff, the partner leading the action for Piper Alderman said: "we believe consumers have overpaid for services that were not provided, or were misled into signing contracts with Vodafone when there was no mobile coverage in their area."
No single claim against Vodafone is big enough to warrant its own legal action, so Piper Alderman and LCM Litigation Fund will group thousands of small claims together into one action.
Since first announcing their intention to build the class action in December 2010, Piper Alderman has received more than 23,000 registrations of interest to participate from Vodafone contract holders.
Piper Alderman aims to file the claim against Vodafone within three months.
