Camden Council in London is set to take legal action against the companies that refurbished a housing estate that it evacuated following the Grenfell Tower disaster.
The council is understood to have spent millions of pounds on the evacuation of four buildings involving around 3,000 people following cladding safety tests in June 2017.
It claimed the external cladding failed the tests and multiple other internal fire safety failures were discovered.
Chalcots was refurbished between 2006 and 2009 by Partners for Improvement in Camden (PFIC), which has since entered liquidation.
