Application of section 10(4) of the Act – appointing the ‘other side’s surveyor’; invalid Addendum Award.
This case raises an interesting point on the proper interpretation of the Party Wall etc Act 1996. But behind the legal argument there is a real issue for the parties in this case, the owners of adjoining properties situated near Tring, Herfordshire.
The Old Egg Packing Station, Station Road, Long Marston, is owned by the claimant, the building owner for Party Wall Act 1996 purposes. The Old Thatch, Long Marston belongs to the defendants, the adjoining owners. The building owner has decided, as is its right, to develop The Old Egg Packing Station.
