摘要

The basic obligation of the Construction Act is that all contracts must contain an adequate payment mechanism to define when and what payment is to be made. The operation of the act depends on a debt being established at the final date for payment. At present, however, it is all too easy for the payer to ignore a payment application or dispute it on spurious grounds, forcing the payee to establish its entitlement in an adjudication.
