But the Auckland City Council has decided not to appeal and is about to pay its fine of $120,000.
Site manager Steve Lay, who was fined $243,000, project manager Bruce Christian, who was fined $138,000, and architect Peter Townsend, who was fined $51,000, have appealed against the ruling by adjudicator Tony Dean.
John Gray, a spokesman for the complainants, said the appeals would drag out the matter of compensation.
