AGC Roof Maintenance Pty Limited v The Owners Corporation of Strata Plan 7704

AGC Roof Maintenance Pty Limited sought payment for services rendered to The Owners Corporation of Strata Plan 7704. The dispute arose from a claim by AGC that the Owners Corporation had failed to pay an invoice for roof maintenance work. The matter was heard by the Civil and Administrative Tribunal of New South Wales (CAT).

The primary legal issue before the CAT was whether the Owners Corporation was liable for the amount claimed by AGC. This involved examining the terms of the service agreement, the scope of work performed, and whether the Owners Corporation had breached the contract by failing to pay the invoice. The tribunal needed to determine whether AGC had fulfilled its obligations under the contract and if the Owners Corporation had any valid defenses to the payment claim.

The CAT found that AGC had provided evidence of the work performed, including photographs and a signed certificate of completion. The tribunal held that the Owners Corporation had not provided any evidence to dispute the amount claimed. Additionally, the tribunal noted that the Owners Corporation had not raised any objections to the work performed or the invoice prior to the due date. The tribunal concluded that the Owners Corporation had breached the contract by failing to make the payment as required. As a result, the tribunal ordered the Owners Corporation to pay AGC the amount of $17,044.03 within twenty-one days.
