The Supreme Judicial Court has held that a general contractor’s failure to pay a subcontractor’s invoices precludes the assertion of any affirmative defenses under the Act, which governs the handling of pay applications. The decision makes clear the importance of construction companies taking a hard look at their pay application practices. Robert T. Ferguson, Jr., Partner in the Construction & Public Contracts Group, will join a Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly panel to discuss the provisions of the Act, review the latest decision, and provide guidance on what construction businesses need to do to be in compliance.
