Abstract: The health and safety, compliance, regulatory and insurance implications posed by cladding are immeasurable. The associated risks they present simply unquantifiable. This paper compares how the fire at Lacrosse in 2014 and Grenfell in 2017 have dramatically altered the litigation, regulatory and compliance landscape. How governments, regulators, building practitioners, legal practitioners and owners and residents of buildings fitted with ACP cladding will ultimately adapt and conform to this new and rapidly changing landscape is yet to be seen.
