Program
Canada Dispute Adjudication for Construction Contracts (“CanDACC”) is the Adjudicator Authority under the Federal Prompt Payment for Construction Work Act. As the Adjudicator Authority, CanDACC is responsible for administering construction-related adjudications and for developing and providing initial training and continuing education for adjudicators. CanDACC derives its powers from the Federal Prompt Payment for Construction Work Act, the Federal Prompt Payment for Construction Work Regulations (Dispute Resolution), and the Federal Prompt Payment for Construction Work Regulations (Criteria, Time Limits, Interest and Circumstances):
