Introduction

Welcome to the latest edition of Construct.Law, our regular round up of articles relating to construction law. We have a number of useful guides on:

• defects claims (Sam Johnson)
• liability under the Building Safety Act 2022 (Hannah McDonald); and
• dealing with an insolvent contractor (Joseph Bearman)

Continuing the defects/building safety theme, Jane Burrows considers the second post-Grenfell court decision regarding cladding and Mark Barley looks at a case regarding NHBC cover.

Concurrent delay is often misunderstood and can be a source of conflict on construction projects. Steven Carey discusses the latest case on this issue. Sara Cunningham reviews the latest in a series of cases where parties have fallen foul of the NEC requirements for notices of dissatisfaction. There are also interesting articles on the effect of a Final Certificate (Steven Carey) and challenges for developers in delivering ESG targets (Katherine Keenan).

I should also mention my own summary of the updated Construction Playbook for the private sector!

We hope you enjoy reading this edition of Construct.Law. Please do get in touch if you have any comments, questions or suggestions for future articles.
