Residents of Sydney's cracked Opal Tower are considering launching a class action against those found to be responsible for the building's faults.
The Sydney Olympic Park apartment tower was evacuated on Christmas Eve after cracks were found in the structure, with residents still kept out of the building while an investigation into the problem continues.

Shine Lawyers national special counsel for class actions Jan Saddler said the firm had held talks with some residents, who were angry and anxious about their investment.
"Yes it would, at a very high level at least, look like there would be grounds or the basis for bringing a class action in this particular case subject of course to what is discovered," Ms Saddler told AAP on Friday.
"Overwhelmingly the concern and feeling is one of fear, uncertainty, then you get into those people who are very angry and frustrated."

Ms Saddler said the law firm was awaiting the outcome of both the government inquiry into the tower problems and a review commissioned by the developer before taking things further.
"We've spoken to residents, obviously everyone needs to see the outcome of the report," she said.
People have voiced their frustration on a Facebook group for Opal Tower residents and owners over the lack of information being provided to them.
