The applicant filed a Contravention of Settlement Application alleging the respondent failed to make settlement payments within the timeframes specified in the Minutes of Settlement.
The respondent argued the application should be dismissed because the parties had signed a subsequent document amending the payment timeline.
The Tribunal found that the amending document did not clearly extend the payment deadline as the respondent claimed, and that oral evidence would be required to interpret the agreement and assess any damages.
The Tribunal declined to dismiss the application and directed that a half-day in-person hearing be scheduled.
