You can more skilfully navigate and assert your rights if you understand the procedure set forth by the Security of Payment Act. Here’s an overview that you should know:
Filing a payment claim is the initial step towards securing what is due under a contract. This involves preparing and submitting a detailed document that outlines the work completed or services provided, alongside the corresponding payment amount expected. This claim must adhere closely to the format stipulated by the Act to prevent any disputes regarding its validity.
Upon receiving a payment claim, the recipient must issue a payment schedule within the timeframe specified by the Act. This schedule must clearly state the amount that will be paid and the date of payment. If the amount is less than the claimed total, the schedule should provide detailed reasons for the difference, setting the stage for any necessary adjudication.
Should there be a disagreement over a payment claim or schedule, either party can lodge an adjudication application. This step involves submitting the dispute to an independent adjudicator who will assess the evidence presented by both parties. The application must be detailed, including all relevant documentation to support the claimant's position.
An adjudicator reviews all information and documentation related to the dispute and then issues a decision based on the merits of the case. This decision is binding and determines the amount to be paid, if any. The adjudication process is designed to be quicker than traditional litigation, providing a more efficient resolution to disputes.
Once an adjudication decision is made, it must be enforced if the losing party does not voluntarily comply. Enforcement may involve legal proceedings to recover the adjudicated amount and ensure that the winning party receives the payments awarded.
