A claim under the WHRS Act may be for any remedy that could be claimed in a court of law for:
- the entry of water into the building(s) concerned
- damage or loss of value caused by the entry of water into the building(s)
- loss of value caused by the fact that the building(s) is not weathertight
- making the building(s) weathertight in relation to the defects that enabled the entry of water into the building(s)
- making the building(s) weathertight in relation to the defects that are likely to enable the entry of water into the building(s) in future.
If a claimant applies to the Tribunal they must pay their own costs and expenses relating to making the WHRS claim unless the Tribunal considers that a party has caused these costs and expenses to be incurred unnecessarily by bad faith or allegations that are without substantial merit.
