MLT Aikins | The Future of Construction Payments: Insights on the Prompt Payment Act

Description

Manitoba’s new Prompt Payment law takes effect April 1, outlining new rules for both contractors and project owners. 

Many in the construction industry—including project owners spanning government and private industry alike—need to fully understand the implications that this new law will bring. 

Join MLT Aikins for an interactive, conversation-style breakfast seminar to fully understand the prompt payment amendments to The Builder’s Liens Act.

The seminar will explore the purpose of prompt payment, the types of contracts impacted by this new law, and the various timelines laid out for owners, general contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.  

Attendees will learn the requirements for a proper invoice to trigger payment obligations, what happens if a payment is disputed, and how the new interim adjudication process works. They will also learn how prompt payment has worked in other provinces and what the new deadlines are to register or serve a builders’ lien in Manitoba. 

Learn how to prepare your business for these changes.
