The Ross Class Action has settled with Southern Response and all affected policyholders short-changed in their original settlements are now entitled to compensation. This class action claimed that, during insurance settlements prior to October 2014, AMI/Southern Response misled policyholders and, as a result, withheld funds that should have been included in their settlements.

Last year, the High Court made an order that affected policyholders had until mid-December 2021 to “opt out” of the class action if they wanted to pursue their claims separately. Now that the class action has settled, this deadline no longer applies and potential claimants who missed the “opt out” deadline are free to make a claim with Southern Response independently, before 8 April 2023.

The Ross Class Action Settlement has ensured that all affected policyholders are entitled to a compensation settlement, which includes:

• Compensation for the unpaid amount in the original settlement;
• Interest on the above; and
• A contribution of $2,000.00 towards legal fees for this further compensation settlement.
