Abstract
It is well known that the power of a party wall surveyor appointed under the London Building Acts Amendment Act 1939, is great indeed. He can, by his award, bind his appointing owner to times and methods of working indeed to works themselves and that award cannot be questioned once 14 days have elapsed after delivery to the building and the adjoining owners by their respective surveyors. He cannot contrary to an opinion I have just received in a letter from an irate owner, who completely misunderstands the operation of the Act be discharged once he has been duly appointed. He is answerable to no man only to the Act and to his professional judgment and conscience.
