VBA corruption investigation, options for affected homeowners
An alleged bribery scheme involving the Victorian Building Authority workers and certain building practitioners is being investigated by the Independent Broad - Based Anti-Corruption Commisison.
This is shocking and utterly shameful for a government agency in Victoria to have had such allegations levelled.
Our concern is with those who have suffered loss at the hands of such practitioners and which may not have occurred in the absence of such registration.
If you have suffered loss at the hands of any auch alleged builders, register your details confidentially by contacting our office at: clerk@bulawyers.com.au
We are investigating the recovery avenues for homeowners.
This article is a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
