Subedi v AA Concrete Pty Ltd

The case of Subedi v AA Concrete Pty Ltd involved a dispute between Mr Manish Samedi, trading as Subedi, and AA Concrete Pty Ltd. Mr Samedi, who engaged AA Concrete to undertake building works, sought damages for the company's failure to complete the agreed works and for delays in the completion of those works. The matter was heard in the Civil and Administrative Tribunal of New South Wales.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether AA Concrete had breached the building contract by failing to complete the works and by causing delays, and if so, whether the contract was properly terminated and if damages were owed. The court also considered whether any mitigation efforts by Mr Samedi were reasonable and whether the damages claimed were justified and properly quantified.

The tribunal found that AA Concrete had indeed breached the contract by not completing the works and causing delays. The tribunal upheld the termination of the contract by Mr Samedi as a reasonable response to the breaches. The court assessed the damages claimed, finding that they were reasonably incurred and properly calculated. The tribunal ordered AA Concrete to pay Mr Samedi the sum of $8,415.21 as damages for the breaches.
