In episode four of In on the Act, Sarah Jackman is joined by Falcon Chambers barrister, Oliver Radley-Gardner QC to discuss the Electronic Communications Code, which came into force in December 2017 and replaced the existing Code governing telecommunications. 

Disputes between operators and landowners under the new Code have been higher than under its predecessor, with one case – Cornerstone Telecommunications Infrastructure Ltd v Compton Beauchamp Estates Ltd and conjoined appeals – going all the way to the Supreme Court.

They discuss the reasons behind that, the effect of the Supreme Court decision and other developments in the area, including the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Bill.
