<p>The Act provides a framework for preventing or resolving disputes in relation to
party walls, party structures, boundary walls and excavations near neighbouring buildings.
Any surveyor appointed under section 10 of the Act is undertaking a statutory role.
In all cases, surveyors appointed or selected under the dispute resolution procedure
of the Act must consider the interests and rights of both owners and draw up an award
impartially.</p><p>If the requirements of the Act are not followed, as with most property
law matters (e.g. boundary disputes) it is a civil matter for the parties involved
to resolve. Anyone considering taking legal action is strongly advised to seek their
own legal advice before taking any action.</p>
