520			_aSummarises the responses received following the "Improving payment practices in the construction" consultation (L129312) which closed on 21 June 2005. Outlines government proposals in the light of those responses and announces planned next steps towards amending the legislation. Covers the payment framework, other payment proposals and adjudication proposals. Key proposals include: introducing a requirement that certification of the sum due, by one of the contracting parties or a third party, becomes an essential feature of contractual payments; removing s110(2) of the 1996 Act's requirement for a payer notice; introducing a right to apply where a certificate is not issued by the due date, and making certain payment mechanisms including pay-when-certified clauses ineffective.
