Navigating this website
Most users of this website are engaged or are proposing to engage in adjudication. The process may seem difficult when read for the first time. Actually it is not.
When an important term used by the Act is first encountered in the text it is highlighted in blue. Clicking on the term causes the definition page to "pop-up".
We have attempted to explain each step of the processes under the Act simply by using a flowchart which alerts claimants and respondents (parties) under the Act to their major rights and obligations. The flowchart is interactive. This means that when the mouse is moved over a box in the flowchart brief details are provided. Clicking in the box provides much more information. The simplest way to return from a pop-up is to close it by clicking on the small 
located on the top right corner of the pop-up.
The flowchart shows all the possible options available to claimants and respondents. In any particular claim, only some of the steps apply. Pink background on the flowchart describes the steps where the respondent fails to serve a payment schedule in time and cyan where it is served within time. Light yellow background describes the adjudication and enforcement process.
We suggest users less familiar with the Acts and/or this site use the applicable flowcharts to navigate. Advanced users may choose to use either the blue menu system at the top of each page or the link to the next applicable information step at the bottom of most pages.
We recommend that you download the flowchart and print it, preferably in colour. Keep it handy - it will prove most valuable.
