Victorian Current Acts Victorian Current Acts(1) If a major domestic building contract does not contain a notice advising the building owner of the building owner's possible rights under section 34 (as required by section 31(1)(n)), the building owner may withdraw from the contract within 7 days of becoming aware that the contract should have contained such a notice.
(2) To do this, the building owner must—
(a) give the builder; or
(b) leave at the address shown as the builder's address in the contract; or
(c) serve on the builder in accordance with any notice or service provision in the contract—
a written notice signed by the building owner that states that the building owner withdraws from the contract under this section.
(3) The Director may specify that the notice is to be given in a form approved by him or her [11] . If the Director does this, the building owner must give the notice in that form.
(4) If a contract is ended under this section, the builder is entitled to a reasonable price for the work carried out under the contract to the date the contract is ended.
(5) However, a builder may not recover under subsection (4) more than the builder would have been entitled to recover under the contract.
