qualifying lease (whether under section 119(2) or (3A)), andethere is continuity in the property let.2For the purposes of subsection (1)(d), the new lease replaces another lease if—athe term of the new lease begins during the term of the other lease, and the new lease is granted in substitution of the other lease, orbthe term of the new lease begins at the end of the term of the other lease

(1)(e) there is continuity in the property let if—athe newly let property is exactly the same as the already let property,bthe newly let property consists of some or all of the already let property, together with other property (whether or not that other property was previously let) (a “property combination”), orcthe newly let property consists of some, but not all, of the already let property (but no other property) (a “property reduction”).5But there is no continuity in the property let by virtue of a property reduction if, as respects any lease in the relevant chain of qualifying leases, there was continuity in the property let by virtue of a property combination.6For that purpose, the “relevant” chain of qualifying leases is the chain of qualifying leases of which the new lease would be part were it a connected replacement lease.7For the purposes of subsection (1)(e) there is also continuity in the property let if the new lease is granted to rectify any error in the lease, or any lease, which the new lease replaces.8Where a dwelling is at any time on or after 14 February 2022 let under two or more leases to which subsection (1)(a) and (b) apply, any of the leases which is superior to any of the other leases is not a connected replacement lease.9For the purposes of sections 122 to 124 and Schedule 8, all of the leases in a chain of qualifying leases are to be treated as a single qualifying lease which has a term that—abegan when the term of the initial qualifying lease in that chain began, andbends when the term of the current connected replacement lease in that chain ends.10The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision about the meaning of “connected replacement lease” (including provision changing the meaning).11The provision that may be made in regulations under this section includes—aprovision which amends this section;bprovision which has retrospective effect.12Provision in regulations under this section made by virtue of section 168(2)(a)

replaces;chain of qualifying leases” means—an initial qualifying lease which is the preceding qualifying lease in relation to a connected replacement lease (the “first replacement lease”),the first replacement lease, andany other connected replacement lease if the preceding qualifying lease in relation to it is—the first replacement lease, orany other connected replacement lease which is in the chain of qualifying leases;and a chain of qualifying leases may accordingly consist of different leases at different times (if further connected replacement leases are granted);current connected replacement lease”, in relation to a particular time, means a connected replacement lease during the term of which that time falls;initial qualifying lease” means a lease which is a qualifying lease under section 119(2);new lease” has the meaning given in subsection (1);newly let property” means the property let by the new lease;preceding qualifying lease”, in relation to the new lease, means—in

or containing one or more dwellings.3The person owes a duty to—athe person for whom the work is done, andbeach person who holds or acquires an interest (whether legal or equitable) in a dwelling in the building,to see that the work is done in a workmanlike or (as the case may be) professional manner, with proper materials and so that as regards the work the dwelling is fit for habitation when the work is completed.4The duty under this section does not apply in relation to a dwelling if—athe work taken on is work for or in connection with the provision of the dwelling (as to which see section 1), orbit is expected that, on completion of the work, it will have ceased to be a dwelling or will otherwise have ceased to exist.5A person (A) who takes on any work to which this section applies for another (B) on terms that A is to do it in accordance with instructions given by or on behalf of B is, to the extent to which A does it properly in accordance with those instructions, to be treated for the purposes of this section as discharging the duty imposed on A by this section except where A owes a duty to B to warn B of any defects in the instructions and fails to discharge that duty.6A person is not treated for the purposes of subsection (5) as having given instructions for the doing of work merely because the person has agreed to the work being done in a specified manner, with specified materials or to a specified design.7A person who, in the course of a business which consists of or includes carrying out or arranging for the carrying out of work of a kind mentioned in subsection (1), arranges for another to take on work of that kind is treated for the purposes of this section as included among the persons who have taken on the work.8For the purposes of the Limitation Act 1980, a cause of action in respect of a breach of a duty imposed by this section is treated as accruing at the time the work is completed; but if after that time a person does further work to rectify the work the person has already done, any such cause of action in respect of that further work is treated as accruing at the time when the further work is finished.2The amendment made by this section applies in relation to work completed after the coming into force of this section.Limitation periods1351After section 4A of the Limitation Act 1980 insert—Special time

apply;bthe other provisions of this Act do not apply.3In this section “relevant provision” means—asection 1 or 2A of the Defective Premises Act 1972;bsection 38 of the Building Act 1984.4Where by

action as if the reference in subsection (1) to 15 years were a reference to 30 years.5In subsection (4) “the commencement date” means the day on which section 135 of the Building Safety Act 2022 came into force.2In section 1(5) of the Defective Premises Act 1972, for “the Limitation Act 1939, the Law Reform (Limitation of Actions, &c.) Act 1954 and the Limitation Act 1963” substitute “the Limitation Act 1980”.3The amendment made by subsection (1) in relation to an action by virtue of section 1 of the Defective Premises Act 1972 is to be treated as always having been in force.4In a case where—aby virtue of section 1 of the Defective Premises Act 1972 a person became entitled, before the day on which this section came into force, to bring an action against any other person, andbthe period of 30 years from the date on which the right of action accrued expires in the initial period,section 4B of the Limitation Act 1980 (inserted by subsection (1)) has effect as if it provided that the action may not be brought after the end of the initial period.5Where an action is brought that, but for subsection (3), would have been barred by the Limitation Act 1980, a court hearing the action must dismiss it in relation to any defendant if satisfied that it is necessary to do so to avoid a breach of that defendant’s Convention rights.6Nothing in this section applies in relation to a claim which, before this section came into force, was settled by agreement between the parties or finally determined by a court or arbitration (whether on the basis of limitation or otherwise).7In this section—Convention rights” has the same meaning as in the Human Rights Act 1998;the initial period” means the period of one year beginning
