Citation: [2025] UKSC 21
On 14 June 2017, Grenfell Tower in London was engulfed in flames and 72 residents lost their lives. The main reason for the tragedy was the use of unsafe cladding on the outside of the building. Investigations led to the discovery that many high-rise residential buildings across the UK were subject to serious safety defects. The Government encouraged developers to carry out any necessary remedial work for safety defects discovered and this was reinforced by the imposition of legal liabilities on developers by the Building Safety Act 2022 (“BSA”). It is against that background that the dispute between developers and design engineers, that this appeal is concerned with, has arisen.
