The family of South Auckland woman Folole Muliaga plan to sue Mercury Energy and Middlemore Hospital over the death of the mother of four.
Legal papers are to be filed in the High Court at Auckland. Mrs Muliaga's death followed power being cut to her Mangere home in 2007.
The 45-year-old was using a mains-powered oxygen machine and died three hours after a contractor for Mercury Energy disconnected her electricity over an unpaid bill of $168.40.
