The correct route depends on status, timing, transaction documents, evidence, contract terms and applicable law.
Not necessarily. Classification, registration circumstances, the transaction, relevant dates and statutory requirements should be reviewed before a route is selected.
The legislation contains provisions concerning interest on qualifying delayed payments. Entitlement and calculation depend on the statutory framework and transaction facts.
A Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council forms part of the statutory mechanism for certain disputes concerning amounts due to eligible micro and small enterprises.
Registration records, contracts, purchase orders, invoices, delivery or completion evidence, acceptance records, communications and payment records may all be relevant.
Yes. A respondent can raise applicable factual and legal defences. Status, contracts, performance, payments and procedural history should be reviewed carefully.
Businesses should consider appropriately documenting and communicating their status, taking account of applicable requirements and their circumstances.
Potential routes depend on the agreement, transaction and applicable law. The interaction among MSME remedies, arbitration clauses and other recovery mechanisms should be assessed.
