Use this checklist to assess and document a commercial contract breach dispute in Australia before taking legal action.
If your business is facing a commercial contract breach dispute—whether as the aggrieved party or one facing a claim—this checklist helps you organise evidence, assess your position, and prepare for resolution. Use it as soon as a dispute arises, ideally before engaging legal counsel, so you arrive prepared.
Work through each item methodically and tick off what you have secured. Note any gaps and treat them as priorities. This checklist covers the most common requirements for resolving a commercial contract dispute in Australia, including litigation, arbitration, and negotiated settlement.
A breach occurs when one party fails to fulfil a contractual obligation without lawful excuse. This includes non-payment, failure to deliver goods or services, or providing substandard work.
In most Australian states and territories, the limitation period is six years from the date of the breach. Time limits can vary, so confirming this early is essential.
Not necessarily. Many contracts require mediation or arbitration first. Even without such a clause, negotiated settlement is often faster and less costly than litigation.
Costs may be awarded to the successful party in court proceedings, but this is at the court's discretion and is not automatic. Partial cost recovery is common.
