    Review of litigation under the Building Safety Act 2022

    Wednesday 4 September saw the publication of the Grenfell Inquiry’s report. That is another step in the process of inquiry, and potential prosecutions, all part of steps to understand what happened in that awful 2017 fire. Falcon Chambers barristers have seen another flight of those steps, legislative steps to try and reduce the prospects of such a fire in existing blocks and relieving some leaseholders of the burden of paying for cladding remediation: the effect of the Building Safety Act 2022. In the latest episode of the Falcon Chambers podcast, Catherine Taskis KC, Joseph Ollech and Cecily Crampin review where we are now, in relation to litigation under that Building Safety Act 2022.

    In-depth discussion of Sainsbury’s Supermarkets Ltd v Medley Assets Ltd

    Wayne Clark discusses Sainsbury’s Supermarkets Ltd v Medley Assets Ltd with Mark Galtrey, who successfully represented the tenant. He defeated the landlord’s opposition under ground (f) to the grant of a new tenancy under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (‘the Act’) The decision was handed down in March 2024 by His Honour Judge Richards in Central London Country Court.  Judge Richards decided a novel and important point of law in relation to the extent of ‘the holding’ for the purposes of opposed lease renewals, and also made powerful observations about the quality of expert and factual evidence needed to support a ground (f) opposition by a landlord.  The discussion centres on that part of the decision that relates to works to the basement and to the question of the extent of the tenant’s holding for the purposes of considering the works falling within ground (f).

    Rent review and The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES)

    Guy Fetherstonhaugh KC and Michael Ranson discuss the MEES regime in the context of rent review.  Whilst the MEES regime has now been around for a number of years and practitioners will be familiar with the constraints that it places on the letting of ‘substandard’ property, the ramifications of this regime on commercial rent reviews is yet to be fully felt.   This podcast explores various ways, many of which appear unforeseen both to parliament and property practitioners, in which MEES is likely to affect the application of familiar rent review assumptions and disregards.

    Issues to be aware of when settling 1954 Act proceedings

    Lease renewal and termination claims under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 Act are very commonly settled, often shortly before trial. This is perhaps no surprise in the context of what is usually a dispute between two professionally advised commercial parties, in which the main point in dispute is often rent. Avoiding the cost and risk of trial will often suit both parties. However, settling 1954 Act proceedings can present traps for the unwary. There are various technicalities to be considered.  Two Falcon Chambers barristers, Wayne Clark and Toby Boncey, discuss some issues that parties should consider before entering into a 1954 Act settlement agreement.

    Cecily Crampin discusses lessons from case management of remediation contribution and remediation orders under the Building Safety Act

    Early this year we saw the first, and only as yet reported, “remediation contribution order” (“RCO”) decision: the much discussed Batish v Inspired Sutton. Despite the lack of other final decisions, there is insight to be had about how RCOs and ROs appear to be working in the Tribunals, at least from a procedural point of view. Cecily discusses what practitioners can expect, and issues to look out for.
