Investor liability for subcontractor payments

New rules strengthen protection for construction companies working as subcontractors. Investors will have to pay for work if the main contractor fails to pay. The changes also apply to contracts already signed.
Key points
Investor is jointly liable with the contractor for paying subcontractors, if the subcontractor reported their work in advance.
Investor may file an objection within 30 days of notification – this period can be shortened in the contract with the contractor, but not in the contract with the subcontractor.
The provisions also apply to contracts concluded before the law enters into force.
