An apartment owner in the Tigne Point development has filed legal proceedings against Midi plc, claiming that it failed to fulfil its contractual obligations to supply a weatherproof apartment.

Apartment owner Chris Bull is claiming that for more than three years Midi had failed to put right defects which it undertook to remedy, leading to ongoing rainwater penetration into the apartment and consequential damage.

He claimed that Midi had persistently failed to reply to several communications over the past eight months.

"For over three years I've been unable to complete interior decoration, bring in new furniture, hang curtains in the windows or pictures on the walls, or put rugs on the floor, because I've never known where water would leak in next. I've been sort of camping out in the apartment that whole time," he said in a statement.

"Unless I can get Midi to do the work properly during the dry weather this summer, I will be condemned to yet another winter of leaks, like the one which left my bedroom floor awash late last year."

Witnesses named in the court application include several other owners of Tigne Point apartments who, it was claimed, have had problems with rainwater leakage and other defects.
