Building Safety Act Case Law Review

Introduction

This webinar reviews the key case law that has emerged from the Building Safety Act. It explores thematically the key issues coming before the Court, which the Court has to tackle from scratch. Case law has to be understood and applied. As a new piece of legislation, and a very broad one, the remit of the Court is similarly broad, and so its judgements shape the law for all those affected by the BSA - for Buyers, Sellers, Owners and Managers in practical terms, and for legal practitioners in contract drafting, conveyancing and dispute advice.

The BSA is driving a step-change for industry, and the law is never far behind. The webinar will provide guidance on real-life application, key commercial points and activities to take away.

Designed for all individuals who work in, or advise on, matters affected by the BSA, whether lawyers or not, including those in conveyancing, contract and project management, commercial or risk and building matters, it will also be of interest to investors, funders, property managers and estate agents.
