Con-versations episode 2: Building Safety Act 2022 – widening the classification of liable

With effect from June 28, 2022 third parties, who perhaps had no direct involvement in the development or who thought their liabilities had long since ended, can now be held liable for the rectification of building safety defects. This is due to a host of new measures introduced by the Building Safety Act 2022, including Remediation Orders, Remediation Contribution Orders and Building Liability Orders. Construction Professional Support Lawyer Gemma Irving talks with Kate Hencken in our construction disputes team, as well as Victoria Groves in our corporate team and Steve Manson in our real estate team to find out what this means and how clients can respond to these changes.
