CIPAA Adjudication Timeline Planner
Enter the date the payment claim is served and your role. The planner maps every statutory deadline under CIPAA 2012 in working days — so you know precisely what the next weeks require.
Deadlines are counted in working days (Saturdays and Sundays excluded). Gazetted public holidays are not deducted here and may push a deadline out by one or more days — always confirm the exact date for a live matter. This planner is a guide to the statutory framework under CIPAA 2012 and is not legal advice.
What the planner counts
CIPAA runs on working days. From the payment claim, the planner applies the statutory periods — 10 working days for the payment response (s.6), the notice of adjudication and appointment of the adjudicator (ss.8, 21–23), 10 working days each for the adjudication claim and response and 5 for the reply (ss.9–11), and 45 working days for the decision from the response deadline, extendable by 30 with consent (s.12).
It excludes Saturdays and Sundays but does not account for gazetted public holidays, which can push a deadline out further. Treat the result as a planning guide, not a substitute for advice on a live matter — talk to us before you rely on any date.
