Claims in Australia
| Article | Place | Reviewed |
|---|---|---|
| Extension of time in AustraliaAustralia rejected Gaymark and enforces time bars, but two states now let a tribunal strike an unfair one out. Security of payment runs state by state. | Australia | September 1, 2026 |
| Prevention and time at large in AustraliaTime at large has been declined repeatedly since Gaymark. The orthodoxy is that a contractor who fails to claim an extension keeps the completion date. | Australia | September 1, 2026 |
| Concurrent delay in AustraliaAS 4000-1997 apportions overlapping delay and AS 2124-1992 denies it. The form decides the answer, and 84% of forms are amended. | Australia | September 1, 2026 |
| Notice and time bars in AustraliaTime bars are enforced, with a new exception: Western Australia since 2022 and Victoria since 2025 can strike out a notice provision that is unfair. | Australia | September 1, 2026 |
| Liquidated damages and penalties in AustraliaAndrews means a stipulation can be struck without any breach at all, and Paciocco puts Australia further from England than before Cavendish. | Australia | September 1, 2026 |
| Prolongation and delay costs in AustraliaNo formula jurisprudence. Australian courts want actual cost proved contemporaneously, which is what most prolongation claims cannot produce. | Australia | September 1, 2026 |
| Global claims and total cost in AustraliaWhat a global claim has to plead in Australia, why Cessnock is not the delay authority it is cited as, and where the total-cost route still fails. | Australia | September 1, 2026 |
| Acceleration in AustraliaThere is no constructive acceleration doctrine. The claim is breach of the Superintendent's duty, and pleading the American doctrine loses it. | Australia | September 1, 2026 |
| Delay analysis methods in AustraliaFour decisions, four positions, thirteen years. Alstom, White Constructions, V601 and Santos v Fluor disagree on what a method has to be. | Australia | September 1, 2026 |
| Records and expert evidence in AustraliaConcurrent evidence, the Harmonised Expert Witness Code, and why White Constructions turned on records rather than on methodology. | Australia | September 1, 2026 |
| Limitation and long-stops in AustraliaSix years almost everywhere, three in the Northern Territory, and a ten-year building long-stop in Victoria that substitutes rather than sits alongside. | Australia | September 1, 2026 |
| Security of payment in AustraliaEight regimes, two models, and the question that decides a delay claim: whether an extension of time is adjudicable at all in that state. | Australia | September 1, 2026 |
