CONSTRUCTION LAW: Prompt Payment & Adjudication

Manitoba’s new Prompt Payment Legislation and Adjudication process is changing how payments and disputes are handled in construction. This session breaks down the new statutory timelines, who must pay and when, and how adjudication can quickly resolve issues before they spiral. Learn what to change in your contracts and billing processes to stay ahead of compliance. We’ll also explore what kinds of disputes can be sent to adjudication, who can start the process, and what this means for your projects. Don’t wait until you’re in the middle of a dispute — prepare now.
