Notification of your rights
Please note that if we have not agreed to a lump sum for the work, you may request an itemised bill from us after receiving a bill that is not itemised (or that is partially itemized) within 30 days after the date that the costs in this bill become payable. Take note however, that if an itemised bill is requested, this bill may be withdrawn and the itemised bill may be issued for a larger amount, with any reductions removed, accrued interest charged and ‘no charge‘ items charged for.
In the event of a dispute in relation to legal costs, you may seek the assistance of the NSW Commissioner or have the costs assessed.
A complaint to the NSW Commissioner in relation to this bill must be made within the required period of 60 days after the legal costs become payable or if an itemised bill was requested, 30 days after that request was complied with. The NSW Commissioner may waive the time requirement if satisfied that the complaint is made within 4 months after the required period and it is just and fair to deal with the complaint, having regard to the delay and reasons for the delay.
An application for costs assessment must be made within 12 months after:
(a) the bill was given to you, or the request for payment was made to you, the third party payer or other law practice; or
(b) the legal costs were paid if neither a bill nor a request was made.
