Frequently Asked Questions
In Queensland, you have 6 years from the date the debt arose to issue court proceedings to recover the money due and owing to you. Part payments and acknowledgement of the debt can affect when the 6 years of limitation starts or, in circumstances, restarts.
Your employee is potentially asking you to enter into a “sham” contract and, if you are found to have entered into sham contracting agreements by The Fair Work Ombudsman, you are at risk of being penalised. To that end, if have independent contractors on your books, it is in your interest to review those agreements and we can help you with that.
In Queensland, you have 28 days from the date you were served with the court documents in which to either pay the whole claimed amount or to file a Notice of Intention to Defend and Defence. If you choose to ignore it, the party who sued you is able to obtain “Default Judgement” against you, which will include not only the debt claimed, but also their legal fees (at scale) and interest.
There are a number of debt recovery option available to you and how you wish to proceed depends largely on how large the debt is and whether the debt is disputed. At Van Rooyen Law, we offer fixed fee debt recovery services and we firmly believe that you should always give it a go before you write it off. You’ve worked hard for your money, don’t just let it go.
We highly recommend that you not only have a legally binding Will in place but also an Enduring Power of Attorney. This legal document gives you the control to appoint individuals to act in your interest and on your behalf in the event, for example, where you have lost legal capacity. They can act for you with respect to your finance and/or your medical needs.
