Our August 2020 edition of CLU includes case summaries for decisions arising out of the Supreme Courts of the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Queensland and the New South Wales Court of Appeal. 

Your August 2020 edition is now available. You can also access past editions.

The relevant cases provide guidance on the requirements when seeking to enforce set off rights under a construction contract, the need to carefully consider contractual provisions with respect to liquidated damages, the nature of effective dispute resolution clauses, the right to make a payment claim under the NSW Security of Payment Act where work taken out of the hands of the claimant, the difficult nature of having an adjudicator's determination set aside on the basis of denial of procedural fairness and fact that decisions made by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission in relation to the Queensland Home Warranty Scheme are subject to judicial review.


If there is a particular area of interest that you would like to see covered in our next addition, please reach out.
