We began working with Anthony Harper after the Christchurch earthquakes, first in successful pursuit of the government insurer, EQC, and later Southern Response.

Southern Response was set up by the Government when insurer AMI failed in 2012, to settle outstanding earthquake claims from policy holders.

In August 2019, the High Court found Southern Response had engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct. Peter Woods of Anthony Harper, acting for Karl and Alison Dodds, established that Southern Response had misrepresented their insurance entitlements (Dodds v Southern Response Earthquake Services Limited [2019] NZHC 2016).

Our client, Anthony Harper has so far successfully secured over $30 million in compensation for Southern Response claimants. The average successful client compensation claim was $100,000.

Our campaign work has been a mix of print and radio advertising, search marketing, social media, and public relations; all pivoting around an online compensation claims system we designed specifically for Anthony Harper.
