The Security Of Payment Act NSW is kryptonite to respondents who won’t pay for building and construction work. But you must know exactly who the entity is that you have contracted with – do you know the full name of the person, or the company and its directors, that you hav carried out work for?

When you are seeking a determination at adjudication that you are entitled to be paid for the work that you have done it is of the utmost importance that the preparation of your payment claim has left no stone unturned.

If an adjudicator has awarded you an amount of money in a determination made under the Security Of Payment Act NSW, known a the “Adjudicated Amount”, the respondent has 5 business days to pay.

If the respondent fails to pay the adjudicated amount you are entitled to enforce the determination.
