Provisions the documents cite: golden thread; s.134 (inserts Defective Premises Act 1972 s.2A), s.135 (inserts Limitation Act 1980 s.4B)
What it requires
Golden-thread information duties for higher-risk buildings. Cite the Act WITH the operative regulations — the Act alone does not carry the detail. s.134 inserts s.2A into the Defective Premises Act 1972 (duties relating to work to existing dwellings), applying to work completed after it came into force (s.134(2)). s.135 inserts s.4B into the Limitation Act 1980: 15 years for actions under Defective Premises Act 1972 s.1 or 2A and Building Act 1984 s.38, and 30 years for a s.1 action that accrued before commencement, treated as always in force for s.1 claims, with a one-year initial period for claims whose 30 years expired in it and a bar on reopening settled or determined claims (s.135(1)–(6)). Both sections came into force on 28 June 2022.
