Owner and Contractor. New legislation effective from 1 July 2018 makes it illegal to terminate a contract with a company solely because they have gone into voluntary administration, appointed a receiver/managing controller or entered a scheme of arrangement with creditors. For this reason (and the probable loss for Owners of non-completion protection under the Qld Home Warranty Scheme if you terminate your Contract incorrectly), it is very important that you obtain formal legal advice before terminating the Contract for any reason. 11 QBCC NATURAL DISASTER REPAIRS CONTRACT | HOMEOWNER’S BOOKLET | JULY 2018

Nothing in this Section 11.1.3 shall alleviate, diminish, or modify in any respect Contractor's obligations under this Contract.
