The decision in <em>SOTA Dental Studio Inc. v Andrid Group Ltd.<\/em><a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> signifies the first time that an application for judicial review of an adjudicator\u2019s decision under the <em>Construction Act<\/em> (the \u201c<strong><em>Act<\/em><\/strong>\u201d) has been dismissed in these circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The applicant in this matter, SOTA Dental Studio Inc. (\u201cSOTA\u201d), owns a property on Highway 7 in Vaughan, Ontario. SOTA retained the respondent, Andrid Group Ltd. (\u201cAndrid\u201d), to perform work in connection with the construction of a dental office on the subject property. Andrid performed the work, completed the contract and sent invoices to SOTA. SOTA did not dispute the invoices within 14 days of receipt, and the invoices were due and payable. On account of the non-payment of invoices, Andrid commenced an adjudication pursuant to the prompt payment and statutory adjudication provisions of the <em>Act<\/em>. The Adjudicator ordered that SOTA pay to Andrid the amount of $38,454.55 for work completed.<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a> SOTA failed to make full payment in accordance with the Adjudicator\u2019s order, which led Andrid to pursue enforcement efforts by notice of garnishment, through which the amount of $6,711.04 was collected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Divisional Court\u2019s Decision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SOTA sought leave to bring an application for judicial review of the Adjudicator\u2019s determination, but did not seek a stay of the determination in the process. SOTA was granted leave, and a case conference commenced three days later. It was at this case conference that the issue of SOTA\u2019s failure to bring a motion for the stay of the Adjudicator\u2019s order was brought to light. The case conference endorsement specifically stated that an application for judicial review does not stay the Adjudicator\u2019s order and that if an applicant seeks a stay pending the application, then a motion will have to be brought for a stay.<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Divisional Court determined that failure to bring a motion to stay an adjudicator\u2019s order and failure to pay in accordance with the prompt payment requirements of the <em>Act<\/em> may lead courts to refuse leave.<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a> Prompt payment adjudication determinations are not subject to appeal, but only judicial review with leave from the Divisional Court.<a href=\"#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a> In these cases, even if leave is granted, it does not serve to stay the prompt payment order unless ordered by the Court.<a href=\"#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\">[6]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reinforcement of the spirit of prompt payment provisions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In rendering its decision, the Divisional Court upheld the spirit of the prompt payment provisions of the <em>Act<\/em>. The Divisional Court reinforced the principle that a purpose of these provisions is to avoid the consequences of disruptions to construction projects by providing for an informal and expeditious adjudication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision highlights that prompt payment is integral to the scheme of the <em>Act <\/em>and that owners should not be permitted to run up costs and delays through litigation in the face of an adjudicator\u2019s order under the prompt payment provisions of the <em>Act<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Divisional Court\u2019s decision emphasizes the importance of complying with an adjudicator\u2019s order (or obtaining a stay of the order), even when seeking judicial review of the order in question.&nbsp; In fact, doing so may be necessary to bring an application for judicial review of the adjudicator\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, the Divisional Court\u2019s decision serves as a reminder of the purpose of the prompt payment scheme under the <em>Act<\/em>. The provisions require prompt payment to avoid the consequences of disruptions to construction projects and the obligation to pay promptly, when ordered by an adjudicator, is fundamental to upholding the purpose of the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please contact Miller Thomson&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.millerthomson.com\/en\/our-services\/industries\/construction-and-infrastructure\/\">Construction Law team<\/a> if you have any questions about the issues outlined in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> <em>SOTA Dental Studio Inc. v.
