CIPAA Malaysia
What is the CIPAA Act?
CIPAA Act 2012 stands for the Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act 2012, which came into effect on 15.4.2014.
Before CIPAA, disputes in the construction industry had to be resolved through arbitration or litigation. As this process was lengthy, Parliament formulated the CIPAA Act 2012 and introduced statutory adjudication as a faster and more efficient alternative.
