Rejected petition Make Late Payments Within The Construction Industry Against The Law
I own the Lionheart Group, a construction agency, I’m constantly chasing my funds past 30,60,90 & even 120 days! It’s effecting our industry in an extremely negative way, people are losing their livelihoods through no fault of their own & we need to come together to put a stop to it once & for all!
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand that you are concerned about late payments in the construction industry but we aren't sure how you would like the law changed.
The law already states that a payment is late if it is later than 30 days (assuming no other period has been agreed):

You could start a new petition setting out clearly how you would like the law changed.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
