VerifiedHi! My name is***** a solicitor in Australia, and I’m happy to help you.
If the electrician hasn't done the job properly, and based on the information you have provided you can raise a claim in the Northern Territory civil administrative tribunal.
The State Tribunal is perfect for mediating disputes.
The document you file in the tribunal is the points of claim. You can download this from the tribunal website.
Draft the complaint in numbered order detailing the issue. I suggest that you also say what action you have taken to try and rectify the matter.
You can run your case yourself.
There are help menus on the tribunal website that you can use to assist you with the application and process.
When you lodge your application, you will receive an email from the tribunal with the next steps to follow.
Does this help with your question today?
