Repair work and the Party Wall Act: Who decides what is notifiable?

Abstract: Undertaking repairs to party walls, party fence walls and, in certain situations, other forms of party structures such as a floor separating different occupancies, is a fact of daily life. However, does it mean that every time an owner decides to undertake some repairs to a party structure they are obliged to serve a notice upon a neighbour under the Party Wall Act? If not, who decides what is notifiable and what is not, and what factors influence the decision as to whether repairs become notifiable or simply routine operations? The following paper aims to clarify this common but somewhat perplexing issue, which is seemingly innocuous in most instances but periodically can be mischievous.
