The Phase 2 Grenfell Tower Report was published on 4 September 2024. It examines the extensive evidence on the circumstances and causes of the fire in June 2017 which resulted in significant human tragedy. You can find our initial summary of the key findings and recommendations in the link below.   In the coming weeks, specialist lawyers Sheena Sood and Joanna Lewis will summarise the Panel’s critical observations and recommendations, focusing on the impact across various disciplines highlighted in the Report’s Executive Summary. The bite sized impact notes will be released weekly and flag potential implications for the construction industry and professional indemnity insurers, as well as the broader ambitions to enhance building safety in the UK.   *FIRST RELEASE* We start our weekly series of impact notes by examining the roles of the principal contractor and cladding subcontractor. Sheena and Jo discuss the key points to note and potential ramifications for the construction and professional indemnity industries.
