FAQ

Defect Investigation Reports in Oran Park: common questions

How does this differ from a defect report?

A defect report catalogues many items across a property. An investigation isolates one failure and establishes cause, which is what matters when fault rather than existence is argued.

Will the tribunal accept it?

It is written to be usable, though NCAT expects a report prepared to its Procedural Direction 3, which we produce separately.
