Written notification under clause 6 of the HIA Plain English Building Agreement need only communicate that the building work will be delayed by reason of the relevant event; it need not formulate the claim itself. Where both parties already know the relevant information, the notification need not set it out at length. A notification given before the delay-causing event satisfies the requirement of notification 'within ten days of the event'. In appeals from decisions adopting referee reports, once appellable error is established, the respondent may raise new points of law relevant to the Court's exercise of powers under s 75A(10) of the Supreme Court Act 1970 (NSW).
