Welcome to Building Safety F(ACT)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 UK government’s Remediation Acceleration Plan and its plans to introduce a Building Safety Levy.
We also take stock of where we are on the regulation and safety of construction products and the Chartered Institute of Building’s new products guide.
We then review the different paths taken by England and Wales when it comes to building safety via the introduction of the Building Safety (Wales) Bill.
This is followed by an analysis of a very interesting case dealing with liability for cladding remediation costs and whether or not they can be passed onto leaseholders.
Finally, we share some thoughts on what the Building Safety Act means for the professional indemnity insurance market and some tips for securing the best pricing and widest cover.
