_v266(8207) 26 October 2001, 56(1)
520 _aDiscussion of the Party Wall Act 1996. Focuses on one of its shortcomings, the issue of stabilising shared foundations where two or more properties have a foundation that is moving. This causes problems in s6(3) of the act which states that the building owner shall at their own expense strengthen or safeguard the foundations of the adjoining owner. Argues the need for this part of the act to be clarified or amended.
