Building Safety Act 2022 – Implications for Maintenance Contracts

The Building Safety Act 2022 (“the Act”) became law on 28 April 2022. So what are the implications for maintenance contracts in relation to the “higher risk buildings” (“HRBs”) that it regulates? HRBs are defined in section 65 (in England, but not Wales) as buildings over 18m or of 7 storeys or more that contain two or more separate dwellings.
