The Amending Act will commence on 21 October 2019 and will apply to all contracts entered into after that date and will not act retrospectively.
A brief summary of the changes are as follows:
Further detail in respect of the above changes are outlined in our earlier article here.
The Regulations will also take effect on and from 21 October 2019. In summary, the key reforms introduced by the Regulations are as follows:
The Amending Act and Regulations introduce significant changes to the process of claiming progress payments which will impact the commercial terms of construction contracts moving forward as well as the administration of the contract during the delivery phase. Industry participants should also take note of the introduction of more stringent penalties for offences committed under the Act, including the possibility of pecuniary penalties.
