About the Webinar

Escalating builder insolvency nationally has seen carnage for all stakeholders in the property development industry. However, it appears that the most affected continue to be consumers with insufficient protection despite statutory schemes. This session will examine the situation for builders and consumers following builder insolvency, and suggest measures to move the burden further away from consumers, including:

  • When does the statutory insurance apply and what problems do consumers face in accessing it?
  • What does “disappear” mean in the context of the statutory insurance scheme?
  • Inadequacies of the insurance coverage – not just monetary
  • The impact of the ipso facto legislation on building contracts and consumers
  • Steps consumers need to be taking in the current climate to better protect themselves from the potential insolvency of their builder
  • Practical guidance for lawyers assisting impacted consumer clients
