Commercial Payments Bill [HL]Contribution
1: Clause 1, page 2, line 5, at end insert—
“(1A) The purchaser must advise the supplier how the supplier should submit notice as set out in subsection (1).(1B) Where the purchaser fails to advise the supplier on how to submit notice, the supplier may rely on the notice commencing by submitting a written document (for example, a delivery notice or invoice) to the person requesting the goods or services within the purchaser’s business.(1C) The purchaser must adopt internal systems that recognise that the serving of notice commences at the point the supplier complies with subsections (1A) and (1B).”Member's explanatory statement
This amendment seeks to require the purchaser to give instructions as to how notice should be given. Where the purchaser gives no advice on notice, the supplier may rely on notice having been given by providing a delivery notice or invoice to the person within the purchaser’s business who is requesting the goods or services.
