LexisNexis has published Keith Chipato and Jonathan Pennington Legh's analysis of First-tier Property tribunal decision (Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities v Grey GR Ltd).
This was a landmark application and success for the government and leaseholders everywhere, being the first under section 123 of the Building Safety Act 2022 for a remediation order (in this case in relation to Vista Tower in Stevenage).
The property had defective cladding and the order was sought to remedy the defects. The respondent was the property’s freehold owner.
Although works to repair the defects had already begun, a remediation order was granted and the tribunal confirmed that any applications for enforcement were to be made after the completion date.
