CIPAA《建筑行业付款与审裁法令》
Introduction (简介)
CIPAA stands for the Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act 2012, which came into effect on April 15, 2014, in Malaysia. Compared to traditional dispute resolution methods such as arbitration or court litigation, CIPAA’s statutory adjudication process is typically more expeditious. This is because arbitration or court litigation often involves addressing all disputes between the parties, including non-payment-related disputes. The aim of CIPAA is to ensure that both the debtor and the creditor can effectively and promptly resolve payment disputes.
CIPAA 是《2012年马来西亚建筑行业付款与审裁法令》(Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act 2012)的缩写。该法于2014年4月15日正式生效。与传统的争议解决方式相比,如仲裁或法院诉讼,CIPAA法定的审裁通常更为迅速。因为仲裁或法院诉讼需要处理双方的全部争议,包括非付款性的争议等。CIPAA的目标是确保欠款方和债权方能够有效、快速地解决付款纠纷。
