Michael Wheater and Emily Betts succeed in the Court of Appeal – Knight v Goulandris
Michael Wheater and Emily Betts succeeded before the Court of Appeal in a case concerning the service regime under the Party Wall Act 1996. Michael and Emily represented Mr Knight, the successful Appellant, and argued that the service regime was permissive so that a method of service could be used, even if it was not expressly stated in the Act. This point of interpretation is of wider relevance than the 1996 Act. As practitioners will be aware, similarly worded service regimes appear in other statutes as well as in many standard form contracts.
