What is CIPAA?
The Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act (CIPAA) 2012, was enacted to address the longstanding issue of delayed or non-payment within the construction sector. It was specifically designed to ensure that contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and consultants are paid promptly for the work they have performed or the materials they have supplied.
The CIPAA Act of 2012 establishes a comprehensive framework for construction adjudication payment disputes in Malaysia, offering a faster and more cost-effective alternative to traditional litigation or arbitration processes. Under this act, any party who is owed payment can initiate an adjudication proceeding to resolve the dispute. The process is swift and it involves an impartial adjudicator reviewing the evidence and making a binding decision within a fixed timeframe.
