In what seems to be the first decision of its kind, the Supreme Court has, in Introbuild Constructions Pty Ltd v Insurance and Care NSW [2025] NSWSC 773, rejected a builder’s judicial review challenge to a Home Building Compensation Fund (HBCF) eligibility decision.
With no administrative review pathway provided in the legislation, the decision suggests that there is little effective means of challenging eligibility decisions.
The plaintiff was a contractor required to have a policy of insurance under the Home Building Compensation Fund Insurance (HBCF insurance) in order to enter into residential building contracts exceeding $20,000, under section 92 of the Home Building Act 1989 (NSW) (HBA).
The plaintiff’s director was formerly the director of another company, which provided labour hire services. In 2020, the director instructed his accountant to remove him as the director of that company, but the notice was not lodged until 2023. The labour hire company entered into administration shortly after.
Within three days of its entry into administration, icare (the first defendant) initiated a ‘special eligibility review’ into the plaintiff’s eligibility for HBCF insurance.
Within four days, the plaintiff’s eligibility for HBCF insurance was suspended as ‘unacceptable risk scenarios’ outlined in section 9.1 of the HBCF Eligibility Manual were considered present including that:
“11. A key manager, director or principal of the Builder being reviewed has been a director or key manager of another business within nine months of that business undergoing a Business Closure. When calculating the immediate nine months before a Business Closure: a. Directorship: The nine-month period is assessed to have started from the date a notice was lodged with ASIC confirming the director has resigned their directorship (that is, the date of lodgement and not the ‘effective’ date of the notice)”.
Over the next few months, the plaintiff made multiple unsuccessful applications to icare to have its HBCF insurance eligibility reinstated, despite providing financial documents and a letter from the director’s accountant in support.
The plaintiff then requested that icare internally review its decision to refuse reinstatement. icare conducted an internal review and confirmed its decision in a letter to the plaintiff.
The plaintiff sought judicial review of icare’s decision to uphold its earlier ineligibility decision and sought orders of certiorari and mandamus.
The plaintiff’s grounds of review pressed at hearing were:
Ground 1: Finding of “phoenix activity” lacked proper evidentiary foundation
In its submissions, the plaintiff argued that it was not open to icare to find that the plaintiff engaged in phoenix activity. The Attorney-General for NSW (third defendant) argued that there was no phoenix activity finding in the decision, and even if there was an erroneous finding of phoenix activity, that finding was immaterial to the ineligibility decision.
The Court dismissed this ground of review, determining that there was, in fact, no finding of phoenix activity in the passages of the ineligibility decision and that icare’s references to anti-phoenixing laws were used to confirm the approach that the resignation of a directorship was effective on the lodgement date with ASIC.
The Court accepted that icare had provided reasons, unrelated to phoenix activity, for the ineligibility decision by its statement that there were present “unacceptable risk scenarios” within the meaning of clause 9.1 of the eligibility manual.
Ground 2: Misconstruing or misunderstanding the purposes of the eligibility guidelines
In responding to this ground of review, the Court provided an overview of the eligibility guidelines:
The plaintiff argued that icare misconstrued the eligibility guidelines by failing to consider matters beyond clause 9.1 of the eligibility manual.
Specifically, the plaintiff said that the following two eligibility principles should have been considered:
The Court did not accept the plaintiff’s argument that adherence to the eligibility guidelines was a pre-condition to the valid exercise of the decision-maker’s power in determining HBCF eligibility. Rather, the eligibility guidelines require the insurer’s eligibility models to comply with the overarching principles.
Clauses 5.9 and 5.13 were found not to impose direct obligations upon the insurer when determining eligibility for HBCF insurance, nor did non-compliance with those clauses make an eligibility decision invalid.
The plaintiff argued that icare’s use of the word “fatal” in its decision to describe the unacceptable risk scenarios implied that it did not consider any other matters under the eligibility guidelines when making the decision. The Court did not accept this argument and said that it was apparent that icare did consider other matters beyond clause 9.1 of the eligibility manual. For example, icare said it received and considered the additional information submitted by the plaintiff. icare also addressed the explanation referred to in its earlier eligibility decision, being the accountant’s failure to lodge the directorship documentation. The Court also considered that icare’s conclusion that “the eligibility considerations per section 12.1 of the [eligibility manual] are not applicable” to the plaintiff indicated that it had turned its mind to clause 12.1, thus considering matters extending beyond clause 9.1.
The Court also accepted the Attorney General for NSW’s argument that even if there was a misunderstanding of the eligibility guidelines by the decision-maker, this would not invalidate automatically the eligibility decision, given section 8A(3) of the SIC Act.
“(3) A failure to comply with any such guidelines does not affect the validity of any action taken (or omitted to be taken) by or on behalf of the Self Insurance Corporation in connection with the exercise of its functions with respect to insurance under Part 6 of the Home Building Act 1989.”
Here, the power being exercised by icare was “with respect to insurance under Part 6” of the HBA and the eligibility guidelines were 'Insurance Guidelines' issued under the HBA.
The plaintiff attempted to “escape the engagement of s 8A(3)” by arguing that icare had misconstrued or misunderstood the eligibility guidelines, rather than failing to comply with them. The Court did not accept this argument, finding that:
”seeking to describe the alleged error as being a misconstruction, misunderstanding or a misapprehension is no more than a variation on the theme of non-compliance, and would, as a matter of substance, amount to a “failure to comply” with the eligibility guidelines. It follows, therefore, that s 8A(3) mandates that invalidity does not result from the suggested non-compliance with cl 5.9 and 5.13 of the eligibility guidelines.”
Accordingly, the Court dismissed both of the plaintiff’s grounds of review.
Given that a policy of insurance under the HBCF is permission to play in the residential sector, insured contractors must take eligibility seriously and not just at renewal time. The facts of this case arose from a special eligibility review, initiated on the detection of an insolvency event in a company related to one of the builder’s directors. Insured contractors must therefore continuously monitor and protect their eligibility, including considering the impact of related party events which may be unrelated to their operations.

Building Commission NSW using old parking infringement notice books to fine builders and developers
The Building Commission NSW is using old parking infringement notice books with carbon paper to issue fines to builders and developers who break the law, the state’s building commissioner, James Sherrard, has confirmed. Officers are required to cross out the words “Department of Motor Transport” and write “Building Commission NSW” on the notices, with duplicate copies made using carbon paper. In 2024-25, the commission issued 202 infringement notices. As the Minns government seeks to accelerate construction times to meet its pledge to build 377,000 new homes by 2029 under the National Housing Accord, the organisation responsible for enforcing building standards is scrambling to equip itself with the necessary data and systems (9 July 2025).

First look at hundreds of new homes for essential workers
The Minns Labor Government is today revealing the concept designs and plans for how the former WestConnex dive site in Annandale will transform surplus government land into around 577 new homes, including 220 dedicated to build to rent housing close to the city for essential workers. This marks an increase on the number of homes first announced in February after further housing potential was unlocked on the site, increasing the number of build-to-rent homes for essential workers from the original 200 to 220. The newly unveiled project will offer quality apartments across the site, in a range of sizes and styles to suit different people's needs (7 July 2025). Read more here.
Fire safety upgrade rules clarified for strata buildings in NSW
Owners corporations in New South Wales may be legally required to upgrade fire safety systems in strata buildings, according to requirements under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and its associated regulations. Fire safety upgrades may be mandated through formal fire safety orders, or when a Development Application or Complying Development Certificate is submitted that affects the building’s use or structure. The Building Commission NSW said upgrades may also be required when smoke alarm standards change or where existing systems no longer meet minimum performance requirements listed in a fire safety schedule (7 July 2025).

Building Commission NSW blitzes Central West
Building Commission NSW visited the Central West in early June to conduct inspections on new residential properties as part of the agency’s continued commitment to monitor building work in regional NSW. The Central West inspection blitz saw the NSW Building Commissioner James Sherrard and a team of inspectors visit 62 sites across Dubbo, Orange, Bathurst and Blayney. 15 inspectors split their time between general building work inspections, specialist trades like plumbing, electrical, gas and air conditioning, as well as Home Building Compensation Fund (HBCF) checks. As a result of the compliance campaign Building Commission NSW has drafted 15 Rectification Orders for a range of defects detected during the four-day blitz. Before these orders are finalised and made public, Building Commission NSW will consider written representations from the developer or principal contractor, as required by legislation (2 July 2025).
