- The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW);
- The contract (oral or written);
- The payment claim;
- The adjudication application;
- The results of inspections (if any); and
- Any other submissions (including relevant documents and submissions made at a conference, if any, called by the adjudicator) which the adjudicator allows the parties to make.
- The amount of the progress payment, if any, which the respondent must pay the claimant;
- The date on which the amount became or becomes payable;
- The rate of interest payable on such amount; and
- If parties are to pay the adjudication fee other than in equal shares, the proportion payable by each.
If, in a previous adjudication, the adjudicator or another adjudicator has determined the value of work, goods or services, the adjudicator must give that work, goods or services the same value, unless the adjudicator is satisfied that the value has changed since the previous adjudication.
An adjudicator can't determine that the claimant will pay the respondent money however setoffs to the value of the claimant's payment claim may be decided. Similarly an adjudicator will not award an amount greater than the amount claimed in the payment claim. If GST hasn't been claimed it can't be awarded.
The adjudicator's determination is in writing and, unless both parties request otherwise, will include reasons. It is forwarded to Adjudicate Today who bills the claimant and serves the determination on both the claimant and the respondent. The determination is not released until the adjudication fees (which include a service fee paid by the adjudicator to Adjudicate Today) have been fully paid.
The adjudicator cannot act as a mediator during the conference or at any other time prior to making a determination. However the parties may, through agreement, extend the period for the making of the adjudicator's determination and during this extended period apply to Mediate Today Pty Ltd (a related company to Adjudicate Today) for the appointment of a mediator.
Please move to the next step on the "Payment Schedule NOT served flowchart" being "Respondent must pay any adjudicated amount either within 5 business days of receipt of determination or by due date of payment, whichever is the latter".
