Law firm Maurice Blackburn has abandoned its class action against the Federal Government over the horse flu outbreak in 2007. A settlement proposed by the Government contains no compensation offer as there was no admission of liability on the part of the Government for the infection of horses with the virus which escaped from the Eastern Creek Quarantine Station near Penrith, New South Wales. Maurice Blackburn’s legal costs are around $A11 million.
