wa-24c-127-07-2025 High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) 27 November 2025 • WA-24C-127-07/2025

Catchwords

This case concerns an application under section 30 of CIPAA 2012 for direct payment by a principal to a subcontractor following an unpaid adjudication decision. The key issue was whether, at the time of the direct payment request, monies were “due or payable” by the principal to the main contractor under section 30(5) CIPAA, notwithstanding the principal’s alleged LAD claim. The Court held that the Direct Payment Notice was valid and allowed the Originating Summons with costs.
