Meanwhile, some residents have discussed the prospect of a class action against GDF Suez with lawyers from Maurice Blackburn. Ronald Koo, associate lawyer at Maurice Blackburn, said: "In our view the report raises serious questions about GDF Suez's conduct, and whilst we will be investigating further, our preliminary view is that they have a case to answer for the losses they have caused the community. It is absolutely critical that we are able to determine the nature and extent of people's losses so that we can determine whether a class action is warranted." The board of inquiry report, led by former Supreme Court judge Bernard Teague, criticised GDF Suez's level of fire readiness and response to the blaze. It made 18 recommendations, with six directed at the mine operator to: - revise its emergency response plan. - establish an enhanced back-up power supply system.
