Dentons and Robert Bowker guide us through the Building Safety Act 2022

In our fourth Real Estate Litigation podcast, Dentons' Bryan Johnston and Thomas Nolan are joined by specialist property barrister at Tanfield Chambers, Robert Bowker, where they discuss the Building Safety Act 2022. The Act is a substantial and weighty piece of legislation, and its aim is to make buildings safer – in the post-Grenfell world, that is an absolute imperative.

Topics covered include:

• Brief overview of the Building Safety Act as it currently stands? What are the key provisions that are in force?
• How does it interplay with current leasehold obligations to pay for things such as replacement cladding or a waking watch that would normally be recoverable under the service charge provisions?
• PASS9980 – what is it?
