What is the Building Safety Act 2022?

The UK Building Safety Act 2022 is a piece of legislation introduced to enhance the safety and standards of buildings in the UK. It includes new regulations and accountability measures during the construction process for high-rise residential buildings and retroactively extended the limitation periods from 12 to 30 years for both The Defective Premises Act and section 28 of the Building Act 1984. The Act has also prospectively extended the limitation period to five years for claims under sections 1 and 2A that arise after the Act comes into effect.
