Welcome to Building Safety F(ACTS)s, where we explore the latest developments affecting the landscape of building safety law and practice. In this edition, we cover some key developments.
First, we look at the evolving position on construction products, as well as regulatory updates on fire doors and residential evacuation plans.
We then review some very interesting and novel case law on Health and Safety Executive (HSE) injunctions, building liability orders, remediation contribution orders and the importance of properly particularising defects claims.
This is followed by our regular “Expert Corner” slot where our guest contributor Ridge & Partners LLP consider topical issues relating to the choice of fire and building safety experts.
Finally, we highlight key issues applicable to hotels and higher-risk buildings (HRBs), and a quick guide to the Electronics Communications Code 2017.
