Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act (CIPAA)

The Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act (CIPAA) is a Malaysian law designed to ensure timely payment in the construction industry. It provides a legal framework for resolving payment disputes between contractors and clients through a process called adjudication, which is faster and less formal than court proceedings. CIPAA aims to improve cash flow and protect the rights of parties involved in construction projects by allowing them to seek quick resolutions and enforce payment obligations, thus promoting fairness and efficiency in the construction sector.
