Which of our submissions argued the payment schedule was given late?

One application makes that argument.

Adjudication application – ABC Subcontractor v DEF Head Contractor, Part D. The payment schedule was given on the sixteenth business day, one day out of time. p 9

D. The payment schedule was not given within time

41.The claimant gave Payment Claim 14 to the respondent at 3.47 pm on Tuesday, 3 March 2026, by email to the address nominated in item 22 of the Contract Particulars.

42.The Contract does not fix a period for giving a payment schedule shorter than the period allowed by the Act. The respondent was therefore required to give a payment schedule within 15 business days after the payment claim was given: s 76(1) of the Act.

43.The fifteenth business day after 3 March 2026 was Tuesday, 24 March 2026. No day in that period is excluded from the definition of “business day” in schedule 2 of the Act.

44.The respondent’s document headed “Payment Schedule – PC14” was sent by email at 6.12 pm on Wednesday, 25 March 2026. It was given on the sixteenth business day, one day out of time.

The “draft assessment” of 24 March 2026 was not a payment schedule

45.The claimant anticipates that the respondent will contend that the email sent by its contract administrator at 5.58 pm on 24 March 2026, attaching a spreadsheet headed “PC14 – draft assessment (subject to review)”, was a payment schedule given within time.

46.It was not. A payment schedule must identify the payment claim to which it responds and state the amount of the payment, if any, that the respondent proposes to make: s 69 of the Act. The draft assessment was plainly deficient.
