27 Effect of payments and non-payments to builders
(1) If a building owner fails to pay a builder any amount due to the builder under a domestic building contract by the date it is due, a domestic building dispute exists between the builder and the building owner.
(2) A building owner may still dispute any matter relating to work carried out under a domestic building contract even though the building owner has paid the builder in relation to the work.
