Notification for Relief

We recommend that both parties first discuss, understand each other’s positions, and try to reach a compromise which parties can do, taking into account the framework set out in the Act.

If you require relief under the Act for a contract that is covered by Part 2 of the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020, you have to serve a Notification for Relief.

The party seeking relief must serve a Notification for Relief on the following Recipients, where applicable:

• The other party or parties to the contract;
• Any guarantor or surety for the obligation in the contract; and
• The issuer of a performance bond or equivalent for the performance of the obligation, where the contract is a construction contract or supply contract (“Issuer of Related Performance Bond”).

Please note that that the service of the Notification for Relief does not constitute a filing with the Registrar.
