The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is a piece of facilitating legislation to allow building owners to carry out works to their property, including limited interference with any neighboring property without the need to obtain a court order which would be costly for each party.

It is a form of dispute resolution, a very common way to deal with legal disputes now but were much rarer when the Act originally became law.
