The next steps in a series of lawsuits alleging flawed building designs by a former Moncton structural engineer began to take shape this week in court over the money to cover the claims.
Multiple firms are suing Moncton firm Match Engineering and its sole director, Hélène Thériault.
The lawsuits allege Thériault’s work led to spending hundreds of thousands or millions to address deficiencies in structures, mainly multi-storey apartment buildings, across New Brunswick.
Thériault has filed statements of defence in the cases acknowledging design deficiencies. Earlier this year she agreed to never work as an engineer again.
