Course description
Solving boundary disputes can be costly and they can generate a lot of stress and personal animosity. Because of this, there have been many efforts to facilitate this process including the introduction of the Boundary Disputes protocol, repeated attempts to legislate for a third party determination structure based on the Party Walls act, and now the launch of the RICS’ Boundary Disputes Mediation Service.
Mark Shelton presents this comprehensive and informative webinar that considers these competing procedural options and the recent case law on legal issues that may arise in this area. This will include a look at adverse possession and boundaries, the guidance from the protocol, and much more.

Introduction
Efforts continue to find ways of solving boundary disputes without the disproportionate expenditure often involved, not to mention the stress and personal animosity that such disputes can generate.
In recent years we have seen the introduction of the Boundary Disputes Protocol, repeated attempts to legislate for a third-party determination structure based on the Party Walls Act, and now the launch of the RICS’ Boundary Disputes Mediation Service. These options are of course additional to the traditional modes of litigating these disputes in the courts or the FTT.
This webinar considers the competing procedural options, as well as the nature of the legal and factual issues which may arise, and also the developing case law in this technical area.
