Webinar: Judgment on “anticipatory” BLOs and adjudication liabilities

Court provides judgment on “anticipatory” BLOs and how BLOs apply to adjudication liabilities

09 April 2026

Event

Join us for an essential update on Building Liability Orders (“BLOs”), following the eagerly awaited judgment in Crest Nicholson v Ardmore (2026) EWHC 789 (TCC).

In the first detailed judgment regarding the application of the “just and equitable” test in the context of making a building liability order (“BLO”) under section 130 of the Building Safety Act 2022 (“BSA”), and second recorded case of the High Court making a BLO, the Court tackled two pivotal questions:

  • Can the Court make an “anticipatory” BLO in advance of trial that associated companies should stand behind any relevant liability ultimately establish?
  • How, if at all, do BLOs apply to liabilities arising out of an adjudication?

Our expert panel will break down the judgment, explore what it means for the construction industry and offer practical insights on this important and informative judgment.

We hope that you can join us.
