Light Bites, expert nuggets for the seasoned developer: bonus episode

In this bonus episode, our hosts and rights of light experts, James Souter and Jerome Webb are joined by Georgina Muskett, Senior Associate at Charles Russell Speechlys, to discuss the decision on costs in the Bankside rights of light case.

To conclude Light Bites podcast series, we brought together developers, investors, insurers and other industry stakeholders for a Light Bites Roundtable to reflect on the key themes explored throughout the series –  you can read the summary of the roundtable here. The discussion covered the impact of the Bankside decision, section 203 powers, rights of light insurance and the future of development risk.
