CIPAA encompasses ‘payment’ disputes involving essentially Construction Contracts as defined  in the Act. Other than issues pertaining to payments, it affords parties the opportunity of adjudicating also ‘non-payment’ disputes subject to the relevant provisions of the Act.

Practitioners in the  Construction Industry are expected to know all the  necessary details in the actual implementation of the  various provisions of the  Act to ensure that  their particular claim  is properly presented and defended (as necessary). This requires a thorough working knowledge of not only the specific provisions of the Act but also the way the claims, responses & replies are well formulated or drafted so as not to compromise their effectiveness.

 With the above points in mind, this Course is aimed  at exposing participants to the detailed facets of the drafting or formulation of the various documents required during the pre-adjudication stage as well as the adjudication stage itself so as to make  them  more aware of the working of same and to prepare them  for implementing the same in practice. To this end, the Course will be conducted on a “Workshop”  basis  with  practical  problems  and   scenarios  being   presented  with  the   active participation of all participants.

The  Course  will  be  over  a  whole   working  day  i.e.  9.00am   to  5.30pm.   There  will  be “break-out”/ ”workshop sessions where participants will be required to involve themselves in problem solving, drafting various documents, working out practical scenarios, etc.
