From Midday Report, 12:42 pm on 9 December 2022

A forestry company which had initially denied responsibility for its part in widespread damage to homes, farms and infrastructure near Tolaga Bay in the 2018 storms is being sentenced today.

Ernslaw One Ltd is the last of ten companies to appear in Gisborne District Court over the incident.

RNZ reporter Tom Kitchin is following the sentencing, and spoke to Katie Scotcher during the court's lunch break.
