NICHOLLS GROUP PROJECTS LTD v PLAN DESIGN BUILD HOMES LTD [2022] NZHC 56 _x000b_

- High Court
The payment claims substantively complied with s20(2) CCA; the identified errors were minor technical quibbles and did not render the claims invalid; breaches of the underlying contract (invoice period) are matters for a payment schedule not a ground to invalidate a payment claim; Nicholls Group failed to serve payment schedules in time, so the CCA 'sudden death' regime applied and the statutory demand could not be set aside.
