Join HKA, Adam Benedict, and Gatehouse Chambers for an in-depth seminar on an historic High Court ruling under the Building Safety Act 2022.
This session will explore the first-ever Building Liability Order made by the High Court under s130 of the Building Safety Act 2022, following the finding of a “relevant liability”, arising as a result of a “building safety risk” in the landmark judgment of HHJ Jefford DBE in the 381 Southwark Park Road case. This decision, to date, remains the only case under which such an order has been made and will undoubtedly be of significance in considering future applications in other cases.
The dispute involved structural and fire safety concerns (amongst other things) following the attempted installation of modular penthouse units to a residential building in Southwark. The removal of the roof in this process allowed for substantial water ingress, leading to significant damage both to the structure of the property and to the individual flats, leaving many uninhabitable. The use of this remedy by the High Court provides a glimpse of the Court’s powers in holding associated corporate entities to account under the Building Safety Act 2022.
