About this listen
The Defective Premises Act 1972 has been around for nearly half a century, and yet has become a central focus recently following the Supreme Court’s decision in URS Corporation Ltd v BDW Trading Ltd. The May 2025 judgment has brought renewed attention to previously untested aspects of the legislation, with significant implications for the construction and property sector.
Morgan Taylor, Claims and Technical Executive at Howden, is joined by Jonathan Carrington, Senior Associate at RPC, to explain the Defective Premises Act 1972 (DPA) and its importance, looking at the duty introduced by the Building Safety Act (2022), who is owed this DPA duty, and whether is it a DPA duty of strict or reasonable care.
