I move amendment No. 23:

In page 8, subsection (4), line 14, to delete “or otherwise”.

I propose the deletion of the words "or otherwise". My second amendment proposes to insert a new formula of words. The rationale for tabling them is that the Bill does not deal with an instance whereby a payer fails to respond to a payment claim. The amount to be paid should be the amount claimed and, therefore, would incentivise the main contractor to respond.
