‘I COOK FOODS’ DROPS CASE AGAINST COUNCIL
■ Greater Dandenong City Council says that I Cook Foods has dropped its legal case against the Council. “The case against Council was dismissed by the Court following a day-long mediation between I Cook Foods and Council,” said a statement released by the Council. “The fact that the claims were dropped shows that there was no substance to any of the claims made against Council and its officers,” the Council purports. Nothing was paid by Council to I Cook Foods. Both I Cook Foods and Council have agreed to pay their own legal costs. “Although we are pleased with the outcome, our thoughts and condolences remain with the Painter family who lost their mother,” said Greater Dandenong Council CEO Jacqui Weatherill. “We will also continue to focus on the welfare of our staff involved in this case. Council has been doing everything it can to support them through this issue.” Dandenong South food supplier I Cook Foods was forced to close in February 2019 after health officials determined it had provided food to an 86-year-old Knox Private Hospital patient who later died from a listeria infection.
