The government is looking at ways to stop what it calls baseless legal claims from delaying new homes and major infrastructure projects. These challenges can hold up construction for long periods, leaving thousands of homes and projects stuck while cases work through the courts.

By reducing these delays, ministers hope to get building moving more quickly across the country. The idea is that fewer unnecessary legal roadblocks would mean projects that are already approved can actually go ahead, rather than being stalled by challenges the government sees as without merit.
