Class action filed against Melbourne Water
Litigation Lending is funding a class action for damages filed by Mayweathers together with William Roberts Lawyers against Melbourne Water Corporation in relation to flooding at the Rivervue Retirement Village in Melbourne. The proceeding has been brought on behalf of residents of the Rivervue Retirement Village who suffered loss and damage following flooding of the Maribyrnong River in October 2022. The class action alleges that the loss and damage suffered by the residents of the Rivervue Retirement Village was a result of Melbourne Water’s negligent conduct in producing and using faulty and/or inadequate flood modelling, and its processes for approving lower finished floor levels for the development of the Rivervue Retirement Village.
It is also alleged that the residents’ loss and damage includes economic loss, diminution in the value of their leasehold interests, and disappointment and distress.
If you currently hold, or previously held, a leasehold interest in a residential property at the Rivervue Retirement Village on or after the flood event on 14 October 2022 and have suffered loss and damage because of Melbourne Water’s alleged negligence, you may be eligible to be a group member in this class action.

Shareholder Class Action filed against Woolworths Group
Backed by Litigation Lending, Dutlaw has commenced a class action against Woolworths Group Ltd on behalf of Woolworths Shareholders who purchased shares between 26 February 2010 and 8 September 2025 (the ‘Relevant Period’), who may have suffered loss as a result of Woolworths’ conduct and non-disclosures. The class action alleges that Woolworths engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct and other contraventions by publishing financial statements during the Relevant Period that overstated Woolworths’ financial results, including by understating expenses (namely, employee entitlements due to salaried employees Woolworths had been underpaying) and thereby overstating profits, causing the price of its shares to be artificially inflated.
If you purchased shares in Woolworths between 26 February 2010 and 8 September 2025, you may be eligible to be a group member in the class action. If you are interested in joining, please register at the link below.
