The late payment of commercial debts is a serious concern for the majority of UK businesses. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, which came into force on 1 November 1998, was implemented to address this important issue by the introduction of a statutory right to interest on debts. Debts and Interest in the Construction Industry provides practical assistance for creditors and debtors in dealing with Act and claims for interest on debts.
