Abstract
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 ('the 1996 Act') provides a framework for preventing and resolving disputes which can arise between neighbouring owners in respect of party walls and similar matters. It deals with three main issues - construction of new walls on boundaries between adjoining owners' land (section 1: "New building on line of junction"); repairs and modifications to existing party walls) section 2: "Repair etc. of party wall: rights of owner"); and excavation near to neighbouring buildings (section 6: "Adjacent excavation and construction"). Local authorities, and their property, are not exempt from the 1996 Act.
