Far North Queensland Breakfast Club -  Legal

Far North Queensland Breakfast Club - Legal

Master Builders Queensland (Cairns)Manunda, QLD
Thursday, Mar 19, 2026 from 7 am to 8:30 am AEST
Overview

Focusing on an industry specific topic that relate to business essentials.

Most legal nightmares could be avoided with proper documentation.


Failing to record a variation or an extension of time is not only a paperwork error but a massive financial risk. If your documentation is weak, you lose your right to terminate a bad contract and could leave yourself wide open to the QBCC.

Join us at our Breakfast Club - Legal series on Thursday, 19 March as Mick McGown from Moray & Agnew Lawyers connect the dots between three critical areas to put you in the best possible legal position:

Client Correspondence:

  • Learn which homeowner messages must trigger a contract variation and how to document extensions of time properly to avoid costly liquidated damages claims.

Contract Termination:

  • Your conduct on-site dictates your legal right to walk away. We’ll show you how to stay compliant so you hold the strategic advantage if a dispute turns litigious.

Home Warranty Scheme:

Discover how a lawful termination is your best defense against QBCC directions to remedy defects or complete works.
