In episode five of In on the Act, Jess Harrold is joined by Paul Letman and Cecily Crampin, of Falcon Chambers, to discuss the Building Safety Act 2022, which was was given royal assent in April.
Letman and Crampin address the key provisions of the Act, conceived in response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy and the resulting debate on remediating defective cladding, including the greater protections it provides for leaseholders, increased powers to support the making of building liability orders and the establishment of new regulatory bodies.
