Waiouru cadet sues for $400k

A former army cadet has filed a claim for $400,000 in damages against the Crown for the abuse he suffered at the Waiouru Cadet School.

The Christchurch man, who was at the school in the early 1970s, filed the civil action last week.

His lawyer Roger Chapman says he is claiming $350,000 and a further 50 thousand in exemplary damages for what he describes as "pretty nasty" abuse.

He says the man has had his life messed up by what happened to him and says he deserves to be treated well now.
