3. Should I bring my claim in QCAT?
There are many advantages to having your property damage dispute heard in QCAT if possible. Such advantages include:
Cost – as QCAT is a "no lawyer" jurisdiction, it is a low cost option for a dispute to be determined without the cost and risk of costs orders associated with traditional Court proceedings.
Time – the QCAT process is likely to be completed within a period of 3 – 4 months. That is a substantially shorter period than a traditional proceeding within the Magistrates, District or Supreme Court.
Binding Order – should the matter not resolve prior to a formal hearing, and the dispute is heard by QCAT and an order made by the Tribunal, that order is a binding order with the same effect and ability to enforce as an order of a traditional Court.
