I have 18 more, but let's limit it to three. They're in no particular order, but one of them is more significant than the others.
First, as currently drafted, the legislation, in a situation where there is a partial payment—in other words, a notice of dispute is given only for part of an invoice—does not positively prescribe a mandatory obligation to pay the undisputed portion. It's implied, but it's subject to interpretation, and we would suggest that this positive obligation to pay the undisputed portion should be a no-brainer.
Second, there's no obligation for a payer who has not received money from upstream—such as a general contractor or a major trade contractor—to go to adjudication of that payment issue to maintain the pay when paid protection is sitting in the act. To put that in English, if a general contractor, for example, doesn't receive money from upstream for some reason, all the general contractor needs to do downstream is deliver a notice of non-payment to his subcontractor.
