Breaking news: the Supreme Court is handing down its judgment in URS v BDW on 21 May 2025—a case set to decide issues like whether consultants owe a duty of care for pure economic loss even after the developer has sold the building, how the retro-active limitation extensions in the Building Safety Act interact with negligence claims, whether DPA duties are owed to developers not just property owners and how all of this works with “Contribution Act” claims.
Join Gatehouse Chambers’ Construction Team at 4pm on Thursday 22 May for a lightning 45-minute #Brew where our panel will distil the decision, highlight immediate practical impacts for developers, consultants and insurers, and (inevitably) debate who now picks up the tab for remedial costs.
Please register your attendance using the button to the left or this link. We will circulate the joining instructions soon.
