The statutory demand was not set aside because there was no substantial dispute: an oral contract existed obliging Redwood to pay $36,000 upon employing Ms Z; the written standard terms were not incorporated; an implied term limited to absence of known disqualifying matters could be implied but did not extend to a warranty of suitability; Redwood's complaints about fit and performance did not amount to a breach affording set-off or defence sufficient to meet the s290 threshold.
