Important legal disclaimer
This case-law resource is provided by Coburns Party Wall for general information and educational purposes only. It is not legal advice and is not a substitute for advice on the facts of a particular matter. Case summaries simplify judgments and should not be relied upon instead of the judgment itself. The relevance, precedential weight and effect of a decision may depend on the court, later authorities, the wording of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 and the particular facts. Unreported and County Court decisions may be persuasive rather than binding. Before relying on a case, check the full judgment, its subsequent treatment and the current law. Coburns Party Wall accepts no responsibility for loss arising from reliance on this resource without appropriate professional or legal advice.
