What happens if a respondent ignores a valid NSW SOPA Payment Claim?
If the respondent fails to serve a valid Payment Schedule within 10 business days (or the period required by the contract) and fails to pay the claimed amount by the due date, they become statutorily liable for the full claimed amount and you may apply for adjudication or judgment.
