    Re Jimmy-T writing that the current BCA requirements on balustrades does not apply unless . . . . . .
    Surely this has been overturned by the Doherty case decided by the Appeals Panel in September, 2021?

    You’re right, although the NCAT Appeals Board decisions are not “settled law” and can be overturned by a higher court (as in the Coopper pets case).

    Nevertheless, judging by this article and this one, Tribunals are more likely than not to insist on common property being brought up to scratch.

    NB: To avoid confusion, I have corrected this in my earlier post.
