25.01.2022 When are settlement agreements concerning payment claims void under SOPA? If a respondent fails to issue a payment schedule in time, but the parties then reach a settlement agreement in relation to the payment claim and construction contract, can the claimant still pursue summary judgment for the full claimed amount due to s.34 of the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW) (SOPA)?

21.01.2022 A reminder that one week from today, building regulation starts a new era. From 1 September 2020, the NSW Building Commissioner and authorised officers will be able to use their broad compliance and enforcement powers to order production of information, enter building sites, make stop work or building work rectification orders, or prevent the issue of occupation certificates or strata plan registrations where there is a serious defect in a residential apartment building. Thes...e powers exist under the Residential Apartment Buildings (Compliance and Enforcement Powers) Act 2020.

17.01.2022 What is the amount of damages available to an owner for late completion of work on a residence that the owner does not intend to live in or rent? In Leeda Projects Pty Ltd v Yun Zeng [2020] VSCA 192, the Victorian Court of Appeal (VSCA) was required to answer this question. The case demonstrates that the court will look at the intention of the owner in ascribing a value, if any, to the use of the residence which was unable to be enjoyed as a result of a builder’s breach by la...te delivery of works.

17.01.2022 If you do not want your standard-form contract to refer you to arbitration, you must do more than insert Not Applicable into relevant Items in Annexure Part A. You must ensure that the General Conditions of Contract are correctly amended so that you are not forced into arbitration.

17.01.2022 A tale of two Acts: The DBP Act and the RAB Act represent a major regulatory change from the NSW Parliament which will have serious consequences for building professionals. While these legislative reforms are aimed at promoting confidence in the building industry in light of developments such as Mascot Towers and Opal Tower, they radically shift the current status quo for building professionals. Those who carry out building work, from consultants and designers to builders and... developers should seek specific legal advice as to where they stand in respect to these new legislative regimes. http://www.bradburylegal.com.au/a-tale-of-two-acts/ #mascottowers #opaltower #development #projectmanager #projectmanagement #bradburylegal #construction #constructionlaw #constructionindustry #builders

14.01.2022 The West Gate Tunnel leads to arbitration Parties who agree to arbitration as their preferred dispute resolution forum should note that the courts are increasingly minded to allow arbitral tribunals to rule on their own jurisdiction or competence under the CAA. A party should closely consider whether their set of circumstances are truly urgent or exceptional to warrant intervention by the court. If not, it would be better to apply its resources in ventilating preliminary is...sues in the arbitration first, then challenging the arbitrator’s determination on those issues if necessary and as permitted by the CAA.

08.01.2022 It is commonly understood by participants within the building and construction industry that payment claims made by a head contractor under the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW) (SoPA), are to be served with a supporting statement in respect of subcontractors. The purpose of imposing this obligation on head contractors is clear and simple: to ensure payment of subcontractors is a priority. #securityofpayment #sopa #buildingandconstruction ...#constructionindustry #contractlaw #constructionprojects #buildersinsydney #sydneyconstruction #constructiondisputes #disputeresolution #claims #progressclaim For further details, please visit the link below: http://www.bradburylegal.com.au/subcontractor-supporting-s/

01.01.2022 It is important to consider closely whether the terms of your contract allows you to submit completion documents (or other documents) via a Dropbox link. If the contract uses words like provide, send, make available, etc, it is unlikely that merely providing a link to those documents will satisfy the obligation unless and until the documents are actually downloaded or accessed in full by the intended recipient. This can be difficult to prove. In Wärtsilä Australia Pty L...td (ACN 003 736 892) v Primero Group Ltd (ACN 139 964 045) & Ors [2020] SASC 162, a contractor has failed to recoup $15M because it tried to submit completion reports via Dropbox link.
