• Do the new statutory duties impact the common law duties?
• What is the position of private certifiers?
• What limitations periods apply under the act?
• What are the powers of Building Commissioner?
• Is there an issue for mixed purpose buildings?
• What about Residential Building (Compliance and Enforcement Powers) Act (2020) Act?
