CIPAA Malaysia

The Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act (CIPAA) was drafted to provide a speedy, timely, and cost-effective dispute resolution mechanism for payment disputes in the construction industry.

To provide a faster and more efficient means of settling payment disputes in the construction industry.

The CIPAA helps resolve cash flow issues arising from payment disputes faced by contractors by providing a faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective mechanism for resolving such issues.

Contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and consultants in the construction industry can benefit from CIPAA's adjudication process for efficiently resolving payment disputes.

CIPAA provides a legal framework for contractors to claim unpaid dues through adjudication, promoting quicker resolution and reducing prolonged financial disputes.

Adjudication refers to the legal process of resolving a dispute or deciding a case. Read for detailed information: Adjudication Under CIPAA Act 2012 Malaysia.

The steps include serving a payment claim, responding to the claim, appointing an adjudicator, adjudication proceedings, and receiving the adjudicator’s decision.

The adjudication process under CIPAA typically takes around 100 days from the date of serving the payment claim to the adjudicator's decision.

Yes, parties can apply to the High Court to set aside or enforce an adjudication decision, but the grounds for such applications are limited.

CIPAA applies to all construction projects in Malaysia, including building, engineering, and infrastructure projects, whether public or private. For more information, read: CIPAA Act 2012: A Complete Guide To The Malaysian Construction Industryand
