The Construction Contracts Act 2013 applies to contracts entered into after 25 July 2016. Any client entering a construction contract should be aware of the new Act. The main features of the Act are as follows:

(1) Irrespective of the provisions of the subcontract, subcontractors are entitled to be paid the full value of work completed every 30 days.

(2) The paying party must respond to a payment claim within 21 days of the payment claim date. If it fails to do so, it runs the risk of having to pay the full amount of the claim, irrespective of how inflated it may be.

(3) Any dispute relating to contractor and/or subcontractor payment may be referred to an adjudicator at any time. The adjudicator must give a decision within 28 days, and the amount awarded by the adjudicator is payable immediately, irrespective of the fact that the dispute may then be the subject matter of arbitration or litigation.

(4) Pay when paid provisions for contractors and sub contractors are no longer permitted.
