Companies sued over dangerous cladding continue Australian court fight

, including the deadly Grenfell Tower fire in London, will continue to fight a class action by Australian property owners.

However the components were claimed to be "wholly unsuitable" for that purpose, as they were made of flammable material which could accelerate the spread of fire throughout a building.Building owners across Australia have had to remove flammable cladding at a hefty cost. Footage of that fire played to the Federal Court on yesterday showed flames rising all the way up to the roof of the building while molten debris dripped onto the street below.
