Minor civil dispute decision
Minor civil dispute decisions can be enforced through the Magistrates Court regardless of whether they involve the payment of money or not.
You will need to provide the court with a copy of the decision that QCAT has certified to be a true copy and an affidavit detailing the amount that has not been paid. An affidavit is a sworn statement of fact, signed by you. A justice of the peace, commissioner of declarations or a lawyer must witness you signing the affidavit.
It is free to file the copy of the decision and an affidavit with the courts. When these documents have been filed in a court the QCAT decision is taken to be an order of the court. The QCAT decision can then be enforced by the applicant in the same ways that an Order of the Magistrates Court can be enforced. Means of enforcement can include applying for a warrant of execution or a Money Order. You can obtain legal advice about enforcement options.
