Campaign group says new rules that would give longer period in which to take legal action are ‘lawyers’ get-rich-quick scheme’
People in high-rise homes who are facing huge bills to fix fire safety defects have criticised a government plan to help them sue developers to recover costs.
Leaseholders with combustible cladding and other fire safety problems said the plan, which was confirmed on Sunday by the UK housing secretary, Robert Jenrick, offered little help because they cannot afford to instruct solicitors and are facing demands for immediate payment.
