Here is how the continental law regulates such cases:
The builder (construction company) is responsible for the structural repairs, the owner (Council) for the maintainance. Also the third party can be responsible and that's an independent quality control supervisor (incpector) who is normally hired by the owner of the project.
In our case:
- SSMC (Swansea Stadium Management Company) who holds the lease of the property, can't sue the construction company and the independent supervisor (inspector), they can only sue the Council (the owner of the property). The Council is responsible for the maintainance of the Liberty, if something else has not been agreed. If responsible, the Council should imediately repair the damage.
- The Council can then sue both the construction company and the inependent supervisor (inspector)
