Remediation orders and building safety

Under section 123 of the Building Safety Act 2022 (the BSA), a remediation order (or, RO) is an order requiring a relevant landlord to remedy certain defects in a building by a specified time. The introduction and award of remediation orders reinforces that the focus of the BSA is building safety and improvement of standards.
