Below are some select achievements of William Roger Stone Lawyers or our team:
Our principal appeared on behalf of the Builder in an appeal lodged by Homeowners seeking to overturn a decision of the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal which found that the Builder was not liable with respect to numerous items of alleged defective works. Our Principal was able to successfully argue against the Appeal on the basis that the Homeowner did not have a valid appeal. Ultimately the Homeowner’s Appeal was dismissed.
Commenced Proceedings against a Builder for Homeowners alleging overpayment of the Builder for works performed and defective works. We were able to persuade the Tribunal that overpayment had occurred by reference to expert evidence as to the value of the work performed and otherwise demonstrated that the works were defective, noting the correct methodology for those works in accordance with Australian Standards. The Tribunal agreed with the Homeowner’s claim and awarded damages in the form of repayment of monies overpaid and the cost of rectification works.
Acted on behalf of a Strata Corporation and successfully resolved Proceedings initially commenced by a Concreter for the balance of monies due for concrete Piering works performed at the strata complex. Our Principal filed a Cross-Application seeking significant defective works in response to the claim made by the Concreter. The Proceedings were resolved by way of consent between the parties, with a favourable outcome for the Strata Corporation.
