study of a consultation paper

Part A In his Consultation Paper (June 2016) entitled “Proposed Changes to the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2009 and Other Initiatives to Improve Payment to Subcontractors in the Building and Construction Industry”, the Small Business Commissioner proposes (amongst other things) that: An amendment to section 29 to withdraw the authority of existing ANAs and appoint the SBC as the sole ANA (recommendations 40(a), 40(b), 40(d) and 40(f) of the Moss Review). This proposed amendment has proved quite contentious with some submissions made to the Small Business Commissioner strongly opposing it. Explain what this proposed amendment means. Discuss the arguments for and against the amendment. Part B Quote some statistics to demonstrate the usage rate of statutory construction adjudication in South Australia over the past 2 to 3 years? How does this compare to usage rates in New South Wales and Western Australia? What possible reasons could there be for the low rate of usage? What proposals have been made by the Small Business Commissioner in his June 2016 Consultation Paper to encourage contractors to use adjudication more in order to obtain payment? Explain how these proposed measures might help to boost adjudication use. Hint: A good place to begin your research for answering Part A and Part B is at the Security of Payment section of the Small Business Commissioner’s website.
