A Year Later: Update on the Implementation of the Prompt Payment and Construction Lien Act (the “PPCA”)

The PPCA was implemented on August 29, 2022 and has been in effect for over a year. Join us to for an overview of the impacts of the changes, what is still to come and pitfalls your organization can and should be avoiding.

The overview will include:

• A discussion of the PPCA transition provisions.
• A review of the changes, focusing on practical problems clients have and will experience both in drafting and in disputes.
• An update on the implementation of the adjudication process, who are the adjudicators? How much does it cost? How is it going? And what can we learn from Ontario?

These amendments merit discussion as they represent an important development for the rights and obligations of parties involved in construction projects in Alberta at all levels.
