Welcome to our latest edition of Property Litigation Watch.
In this issue, we spotlight the Building Safety Act 2022, highlighting a couple of discrete, interesting issues arising out of the Triathlon Court of Appeal judgment and the more recent Upper Tribunal decision concerning Centre Point House. In our 'Speaker's Corner Q&A', Property Litigation Managing Associate Charlotte Nayler hears from Jonathan Herrick of Herrick Fire on his involvement in shaping post-Grenfell fire safety legislation and the Building Safety Act.
In this edition's podcast, Of Counsel Knowledge Lawyer Lauren King chats to Lucian Cook, head of Savills Residential Research and one of the country's most respected housing market commentators, about the impact of the recently enacted Renters' Rights Act 2025 on the private rented sector.
Our 'On the Horizon' piece considers some of the key reforms and landmark cases expected across the commercial and residential property spheres in the coming months.
We were delighted that Mishcon de Reya's Property Litigation team retained its Band 1 and Tier 1 rankings in Chambers UK and Legal 500 this year, and would like to thank our clients and referees for their positive feedback.
As always, we encourage you to reach out to any member of our Property Litigation team if you wish to discuss any of the topics further or have suggestions for future editions.
