Building Safety Act: Who Really Pays? Grey v Edgewater

In this Newsflash episode, Lizzie Collin is joined by Richard Snape, Head of Legal Training at Davitt Jones Bould, to analyse the developments under the Building Safety Act through Grey GR v Edgewater.

The discussion focuses on when it is just and equitable to require third parties to contribute towards remediation works, and how the courts are approaching the allocation of liability under the BSA. Lizzie and Richard break down the court’s reasoning, the factors influencing cost recovery, and why this decision is significant for owners, developers and associated parties.

This episode is essential listening for real estate professionals navigating building safety risk, remediation funding and post-Grenfell liability. It provides insight into how responsibility for remediation costs may be shared, and how this ruling could shape future claims and recovery strategies across the property sector.
