Keep the original item references so both parties can match their responses. A Scott schedule organises a dispute. It does not establish liability, replace a notice or set the procedure for adjudication or court proceedings. ### Scott schedule One row per disputed item.

Scott schedule: completed fictional example | Item ref | Allegation / location | Claimed amount (£) | Amount accepted (£) | Difference (£) | Contractual basis | Evidence references | Your response | Other party response | Outcome / next action | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | CC-01 | Making good damaged partitions, Level 2 | £8,000.00 | £2,000.00 | £6,000.00 | Check the deduction and damage provisions | Photos P01–P06; invoice I01; access log AL1 | Accept the evidenced repair to our work only | Balance maintained; further records awaited | Request allocation of remaining repair costs | | CC-02 | Cleaning shared access areas | £3,500.00 | £500.00 | £3,000.00 | Check responsibility for shared areas | Cleaning records CL1; site diary SD4 | Accept allocated cleaning of our area | Allocation not yet supplied | Request dated allocation and invoices | Enter a genuine zero where nothing is accepted. A blank figure remains unresolved. Differences do not establish entitlement. ## Understanding your results Read each row as a disputed item with separate positions and supporting records. The total is a reconciliation of the entered amounts, not a finding of liability. Flag missing evidence and unresolved responses before drawing a conclusion. ## How it works - Copy the allegation and the other party's amount without changing their meaning. Identify the contract term relied on. - Enter the amount you accept, including an explicit zero where appropriate. The difference calculates only when both figures are present. - Explain your response and link each point to dated photographs, instructions, invoices or site records. - Keep the other party's response separate from your own. Record agreements and unresolved points without overwriting earlier evidence. - Check the total against the deduction in the payment documents. Keep VAT and any disputed tax treatment separate. In the fictional example, £8,000 of making-good charges are compared with £2,000 accepted. The £6,000 difference identifies the disagreement; it is not a recovery prediction. The second item compares a £3,500 cleaning charge with £500 accepted. Together, the two disputed differences total £9,000. Where deductions remain unsupported, a [Contra-charge review and challenge]() examines the contractual basis, notices and evidence behind each item. [Browse the Library]()
