Prepare a Construction Contracts Act 2002 payment claim
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- Extract the contract details, the claimed amount, the period and the supporting invoices, and set them out as a reference list for the lawyer. The tool drafts no part of the payment claim and supplies no skeleton or suggested wording for it. Against the claim the lawyer has written, check the statutory particulars and the service details.
- What the lawyer must review
- Prepare the claim under the Construction Contracts Act 2002
- Do not use a NSW claim form or an East Coast SOP due date
- Check retention money: the rules from 5 October 2023 do not apply to homeowner contracts
