How to use this guidance
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s (MHCLG) guidance on the use of remediation contribution orders provides a framework for any person considering applying for a remediation contribution order. This guidance does not provide legal advice. Any person considering applying for a remediation contribution order should seek independent legal advice about doing so.
Remediation contribution orders were introduced under the Building Safety Act 2022 to make sure funding to fix building safety defects is made available, and/or funding is obtained to reimburse costs previously incurred in fixing building safety defects. Parties including regulators, leaseholders and landlords can apply to the First-tier Tribunal to request an order be made requiring landlords, developers and/or persons associated with them to make payments to a specified person.
