BE PREPARED OR PAY THE NEW CONSTRUCTION ACT

摘要

Some important changes to the Construction Act1 came into force on 1 October 2011. Employers, contractors, subcontractors and consultants should all have been taking action to get ready. Under the previous Legislation, the industry got used to payment notices and withholding notices. It did not take long for people to realise that there were no consequences if payment notices were not given. It took Parliament even longer to do anything about it, but now they have. In addition they have also made some changes to adjudication.
