BSA 2022, Pt 4 The Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA 2022) delivered far-reaching reforms to the legal framework and regulation of building safety, intended to ‘secure the safety of people in or about buildings and improve the standard of buildings’. Parts 3 and 4 of BSA 2022 establish the architecture for a new regulatory system governing ‘higher-risk buildings’ (HRBs). Under Pt 3, a strict building control regime was introduced for the design and construction stages of HRBs. Pt 4 imposes duties on those responsible for occupied HRBs, covering risk management and reporting. Collectively, these requirements are known as the ‘HRB regime’. This Practice Note examines BSA 2022, Pt 4, which sets out the arrangements for managing building safety risks in occupied HRBs in England. BSA 2022, Pt 4 does not extend to HRBs in Wales. For analysis of the Welsh position on HRBs, see Practice Note: Building and Fire Safety—the position in England, Scotland and Wales...

It also notes that additional rules on the terms of an auditor’s appointment and remuneration may apply to a listed company, an AIM company, or a company whose securities are admitted to the AQSE Main Market or the AQSE Growth Market (formerly the NEX Exchange Main Board or NEX Exchange Growth Market), but these fall beyond the scope of this Practice Note.

For guidance regarding the appointment of an auditor where there has been a failure to re-appoint, see Practice Note: Failure to re-appoint an auditor. For further...

[ Date ] [ Client's name and address ] Dear [ insert client name ] Re: Injunctive relief I write to advise you regarding your intended application for an interim injunction against [ name of party ], sought in order to [ insert reason for and type of injunctive relief being sought ].
