We have had Atlas come and survey the damage to the ravine and the property and I am waiting for a quote from them. They need specialist advice and quote as to the erection of supports etc. Without using the boulders again. If we had to use the boulders the expense would be beyond our pockets so they have come up with another idea and are getting their heads together and making a plan for us.
Thank you
The President
NOTICE FROM THE PRESIDENT RE THE COLLAPSE OF THE RAVINE
ATTENTION ALL OWNERS 2 October 2020
As most of you are aware the ravine collapsed during the gota fria in the September of 2019. Since then the president, the administrators and the insurance company have been trying to obtain some kind of compensation from the Consortia (the Government). To date we have had no joy. The insurance company state that the collapse was “an act of God” and therefor the cost of repair is to be borne by the Consortia.
We have had a reply from the consortia stating that we have no claim as the wall was not correctly built in the first instance. I am not sure who is to blame for signing off the repair of the first collapse (approximately 14 years ago) but nevertheless they are refusing to offer any financial help. This is apparently a normal type of reply from the Consortia because they do not want to spend money.
However, the insurance company sent a company to see the president,
And they are Piqueras Ingenier y Arquitectura Pericial, who are Consulting Engineers. They have been hired by us to “fight” our case (they have lawyers) against the decision of the Consortia. If they lose, they do not get paid a cent. However, if they win the case for us they get 5% of the funds awarded to us by the Consortia to get the ravine repaired. The president entered into a contract with them and we are waiting for a reply acknowledging this from the Consortia.
Should the outcome be ruled against us we will then begin proceedings with our insurance company.
We will update with any future developments as soon as we are given any further information.
Dave Clements (President)
