Compiling Evidence

It takes two to tango, in a Tribunal hearing the two are:

  1. The Applicant - the person making the application.
  2. The Respondent - the person responding to the application.

When compiling evidence you need to be as clear and concise as possible, you don't have to be a lawyer to make a good case against a predatory builder, all you need to do is tell the truth and lay it out in a format that is easily understood.

Let's assume you have gathered your evidence, it is now time to compile it so that you can present it to the body that is hearing your case, it should also be in a format that you can easily follow.

You need the following two separate documents labelled:

  1. Statement of Evidence 
  2. Attachments to Statement of Evidence with an Index of Attachments

Statement of Evidence

A statement of evidence is a numbered statement of the evidence that you intend to put before the Tribunal or court. It is a written account of your evidence in chronological order. It should be fact, not opinion, only qualified people such as engineer's can provide opinion.

Attachments to Statement of Evidence

You should provide an index for the attachments to you statement of evidence and call it "Index of Attachments", list each as A1 and so on. The "A" is for Attachment and the "1" refers to the first item in your statement. If you have more than one attachment for a particular statement item, call it A1, A1A, A1B, A1C and so on.

Attachments to your statement of evidence are relevant documents to support your statement, it can include contracts, emails, invoices and statements from witnesses. The attachments should be numbered to correspond with your statement of evidence numbers so that it is easy to understand and easy for you to follow in proceedings.

I want to make it clear this is not legal advice, it is based on my own experience in my defence  with a predatory builder.

ABOUT US

SubbiesUnited is not “anti builder”, we support strong builders.
We are “anti theft” of hard working subbies money.

It’s not just about the builders who go broke, businesses all over Australia Liquidate every day for a variety of reasons.

It’s about the ones that engage in calculated criminal behaviour such as providing false information to the regulators or inducing subbies to work on a site when they know they cannot or are not going to pay them because of a fraudulent scheme. Its about the participation of the banks, pre insolvency advisors and builder appointed Liquidators to fraudulently defeat creditors.

Liquidators should always be appointed by creditors to ensure a thorough investigation takes place.

We want the rogues investigated and prosecuted for fraud so our goal is to pressure the Queensland Government to set up a fully funded Police Task Force to investigate and prosecute Construction Industry fraud.


  • SubbiesUnited was created to provide subbies with collaborative information on building companies that are showing signs of insolvency or struggling to pay their creditors. The signs are always there, we just need to get the message to each other before it happens.
  • We provide subbies with up to date news on builders in Administration or Liquidation and the best strategies to get a return.
  • There are some extremely litigious builders out there who would rather sue you than pay you. Often they sue you so they don’t have to pay you. We will expose them.
  • The construction industry is renowned for building companies setting up illegal Phoenix operations, shifting assets, then liquidating sending subbies broke. We work with other subcontractor & supplier organisations & Governments to stop what amounts to legalised theft on a massive scale though pre packaged liquidations. Insolvency is used as a means to defraud Subbies.
  • Our aim is to limit the financial damage before it happens with our “members only forum”, an early warning system for the benefit of all our members.
