Another big development in the domestic building space, with a stay application under section 57 of the Domestic Building Contracts Act 1995 being granted by Judge Kirton in the County Court in Mooney v Fanissa [2024] VCC 1032, published today (link to judgment below). This decision is significant post Judge Burchell's two well known decisions in Uber Builders and Impressa Constructions (which both found that VCAT was not capable of hearing domestic building disputes in 2021 because of the various backlogs and resourcing issues). The important take home message now is that the dial has shifted since 2021: VCAT's delays and resourcing issues (which are still significant) are not as bad as they were, and can no longer be used as an excuse to commence plain vanilla domestic building proceedings in the County Court (that's my spin on things). Here is hoping this decision will see the reduction of smaller quantum and uncomplex domestic building disputes in the County Court (defect or termination claims of ordinary single occupancy dwellings), leaving the Court to deal with the bigger disputes that require more robust case management (apartment towers, multiple parties, complicated evidence).

What’s it take to pick a winning racehorse? 🐎 Many consider pedigree, temperament, the jockey, type of track, odds to win, etc. to include the less-strategic items such as name, color and number. And, in the end, how much are we leveraging skill vs luck? This is fairly similar to how business decisions are made at times- a lot of variables to consider, capabilities and expertise to leverage, data gathered for predictions and proof, but sometimes it includes a bit of luck with timing, alignment, fit, and relationships. The benefits of combining both are shown here with our ITA Group team having fun at the Del Mar track! We all had different strategies and we each had some winners but more importantly we enjoyed being together…and with a little luck, will plan it again sometime soon!

The worlds greatest F1 driver does this one trick to stay winning 👇🏼 When you’re chasing a win, it’s easier to keep pace. When you’re out in the lead, it’s hard to keep pushing. Lewis Hamilton imagines himself out in front and chases a better version of himself. It keeps him straight. Focused. It’s easier hunting down someone or something because you have something to aim towards. It’s harder keeping pace when you’re out in front because you don’t have as much driving you. ***** What helps you to stay focused?

In an exemplary display of gratitude and leadership, Mark Cuban has set a new standard for business owners everywhere. Following the sale of his majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks, Cuban didn't just walk away; he left a lasting impact by gifting $35 million in bonuses to the team's employees.

How do you turn #challenges into #opportunities? yesterday's race in Baku, Sainz and ‘Checo’ found themselves in the same situation but saw the track completely differently. Sainz focused on the challenges, while Checo saw an opportunity to push ahead. In the end, both ended up out of the race after a shared crash. This happens in business too - different #perspectives can lead to failure without alignment. Success lies in understanding the situation through the other’s eyes and working together. #F1 #BusinessMindset #OpportunityInChallenges #CollaborationForSuccess
