• In the eastern states, if following receipt of the adjudicator's determination, a respondent fails to pay the adjudicated amount within 5 business days (or later time as determined by the adjudicator), a claimant may request an adjudication certificate to present to a court of competent jurisdiction and enforce the statutory debt. The cost of issuing this certificate may be added to the statutory debt (not in Victoria) and is recoverable from the respondent in the same proportion as determined by the adjudicator in relation to all fees.
