Abstract

In the December briefing article, we look at the Modern Slavery Act 2015, Operation Magnify, and the skills shortage that plagues our industry. In the news, the Infrastructure Commission has issued a call for evidence, Turley has published a report exploring local planning authority comprehension of business needs, and the Housing and Planning Bill 2015/16 impact assessment is now available for reading. In Ireland, a new survey benchmarks BIM adoption, and the Supreme Court ruling clarifies B2B contracts. Recent documents added to the service include Chapter 30 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, the House and Planning Bill impact assessment, and several new approved documents on toxic substances, ventilation, combustion appliances, and amendments to JCT contracts.
