It explores the extent to which private law can be part of the solution to – as well as being part of the cause of – the building safety crisis which afflicts people around the world. The book offers policymakers, practitioners and scholars ground-breaking consideration of this vital yet under-considered aspect of the building safety crisis, along with new and valuable insights into the nature, limits and utility of private law.
The book examines the ‘symptoms’ of the building safety problem (fire, moisture ingress, structural integrity and beyond) across the UK, USA, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, Italy and Canada. It covers the broad spread of categories within the realm of private law, including torts (primarily negligence), contract, and land (real property) law. International experts provide a variety of different perspectives on the complex and rapidly evolving relationship between private law and the measures which policymakers are implementing in response to the building safety crisis. The book examines in detail existing legislative and judicial responses to the crisis, offering guidance as to how statutory regimes addressing the building safety problem (such as the Building Safety Act 2022) can best be understood and developed.
The book results from a joint research project by the Faculty of Law at the University of Oxford and Melbourne Law School at the University of Melbourne.
