THE SEMINAR
The UK government has now published its consultation in response to Dame Judith Hackitt’s independent review of building regulations and fire safety. The proposed reforms are far reaching and it will be vital for those that own and manage buildings or construct them to consider the potential implications of the proposed changes. This seminar will consider: The future shape of building safety in England, Wales and Scotland and the relevance to health and safety lawyers and their clients;
- The inter-relationship with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, and the building regulations in both jurisdictions.
- Consequential legal implications for professional contracts or leases together with asset sales and acquisitions
- Cross- jurisdiction issues for asset owners and developers
- Potential practical issues for duty holders
