Summary
An accessible roadmap to the complexities of party wall disputes Party Wall Disputes: The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 and Beyond - Legal Coherence and Dispute Management meets the need for a roadmap to the main areas of law and fact relevant to party wall disputes: - Statutes, including a detailed analysis of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 and other relevant legislation, - Property rights, such as rights of way, rights of support, drainage rights and rights linked to easements, - Torts, such as nuisance related to noise and vibration and breaches of rights to light, and - Factual matters, such as structural issues. In addition, this book maps out the available dispute management options under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, in court as well as alternative dispute resolution methods (arbitration, mediation, medi-arb, expert determination and early neutral evaluation). The result is an invaluable resource for lawyers, party wall surveyors, construction professionals, academics and property owners who encounter or are interested in party wall disputes. "I can say with confidence that Dr Lintott has done the professions both of the law and of surveying in particular, as well as property owners, a great service in providing something of a stocktake..., where the tectonic plates of title, use of land, statute and common law, easements, planning and construction codes, rights, liabilities and obligations all meet. ... She is mindful of the reality that party wall practice is ultimately driven by mutual proprietorial and essentially practical considerations ..." -THE EARL OF LYTTON.
