Just when you thought you had mastered Ontario’s construction lien legislation, more changes are on the horizon. The Province is set to amend the Construction Act once again, with updates expected to take effect in early 2025.
Join Jason J. Annibale and Kailey Sutton of McMillan LLP’s National Construction and Infrastructure Group for an engaging discussion on key updates, including:
- New rules for the release of holdback obligations,
- Broader access to adjudication,
- Design services potentially attracting lien rights, and
- Revised definitions for “proper invoices” and “price.”
Jason and Kailey will break down the amendments introduced by Bill 216, Building Ontario for You Act, and provide practical insights to help your organization prepare for these upcoming changes.
