The Party Wall Casebook (eBook)

The Party Wall Casebook, now available in paperback, is an
essential reference tool for surveyors, architects, engineers and
lawyers. It provides a comprehensive analysis of over 80 leading
cases which define the courts' approach to the Party Wall etc
Act 1996 and the related common law rules.

For ease of reference, the book contains an alphabetical digest
of cases with an extensive subject index. The facts, key issues and
decision in each case are summarised to provide easy access for the
busy practitioner.

The legal basis for each decision is also explained in clear,
jargon-free language. The book is illustrated and extracts from
relevant statutes appear throughout the text. An introductory
chapter also places the cases in their broader legal context for
those requiring a more detailed understanding of the law in this
area.

The book provides a single source of reference on the case law
required by all party wall surveyors. It gives readers practical,
and legally up-to-date, guidance on the practice of party wall
surveying, including:

* Making sure that notices are properly served under the Act

* Protecting the interests of appointing owners during
negotiations

* Ensuring that awards are legally enforceable

* Dealing with compensation claims by adjoining owners

* Advising clients on appeals under the Act
