The industry has until 21 June to respond to the government’s proposed changes to the Construction Act, which carries several “bold” moves, according to Sir Michael Latham, who carried out a review of the Act last year.

Among the changes proposed are:

  • Adjudicators will have the power to rule on their own jurisdiction;
  • Contractors will have the right to reimbursement for suspended work;
  • An adjudicator will be able to overturn interim payment decisions.
