There was another residential flat case called First Cross and Teesdale in eighteen I'm sorry, nineteen ninety-three, which had said otherwise.
But they said that Grenfell was such a change it would pin the liability, contractual liability, peak for property in good condition.
Don't know what you think of this one.
They the judge basically said that, you know, the
If anything, hotels are going to be more dangerous than the high rise residential blocks because you're dealing with people who don't know the lay of the land like you do if it's your home, but also who have likely to have gone to football matches when they stay after they when they s you know, stay afterwards, and they'll be drunken on drugs.
Is it?
Uh the advertise as such, but uh all these people would be drunken on drugs.
Yeah.
But uh anyway, perhaps they had a drink or two, some of them, but
I don't know, but anyway, there we go.
So you were in breach of that contractual obligation.
They secondly dealt with the legal obligations and this was a I thought a strange argument so which succeeded.
It's the regulatory reform fire safety order of uh two thousand and five which came into force in October two thousand and six.
Then it says the responsible person has various uh, you know, obligations to have a fire safety risk assessment and then carry out the recommendations.
And Article twelve of the order says that if there's a dangerous substance in the premises, the responsible person is uh duty bound to either eliminate it or reduce the risk as in far as is reasonably practical.
And this cladding would be uh
Yeah, such a dangerous substance.
And the responsible person is the person in control, and they said, because the landlord has taken over
uh obligations for the exterior, they're the responsible person, they have to do something about it.
What I find surprising about that is Article thirty nine of the fire safety order expressly says that it doesn't give rise to civil liability.
