By tribunal tier
Civil courts (TCC, Court of Appeal, Supreme Court) decide liability, damages and BSA 2022 orders; these are binding/persuasive precedent. First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) decisions sit below them, dealing with landlord-and-tenant/service-charge mechanics and, since June 2022, Remediation Orders (s.123), Remediation Contribution Orders (s.124) and Accountable Person disputes under the BSA — persuasive at most, and often procedural rather than substantive. See Scope and Method.
- TCC / Court of Appeal / Supreme Court: all cases above except the FTT ones below
- First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) — procedural/service-charge: Munkenbeck & Marshall Buildings (FTT)
- First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) — substantive, later appealed: Triathlon Homes v Stratford Village Development Partnership, Adriatic Land 5 v Hippersley Point (both began in the FTT before reaching the Court of Appeal)
- First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) — substantive, BSA-native, not appealed (so far): Secretary of State v Grey GR (Vista Tower), and the other 54 decisions in the FTT Property Chamber — Building Safety Act tracker
