Kwik Haul sues over $930k 'bill'

Kwik Haul is suing Pilbara Resource Group for damages over an unpaid bill and an alleged breach of its service agreement.

According to a writ lodged in the Supreme Court this week, the legal action launched by Kwik Haul centres around an agreement it held with the contractor for the supply of haulage services.

But Kwik claims the agreement, signed in July, was breached when Pilbara Resource Group ordered its immediate termination on September 19, 2021, despite the agreement stipulating a 12-week notice period was required.

Further, Kwik alleges the contractor engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct under Australian Consumer Law and failed to pay for haulage services provided to the tune of $930,005.

Now, Kwik is seeking the repayment of the sum, as well as damages, compensation, interest and the coverage of costs associated with pursuing the legal action.
