About the series:

Dealing with rights to light, daylight, sunlight and party wall matters is so often dealt with far too late in the programme of many a development project.  Delays can result in litigation or costly remedial action.  Understanding the crucial issues of these important areas early in the development process is essential to the smooth running of projects and is necessary to avoiding delay and expense – overlooking them and assuming they are not important is not an option.

This new online series will explain the legal minefield and will provide a practical interpretation of how these important issues should be handled appropriately.  It will look at the latest important case law and how the decisions are interpreted.

This new series is ideal for surveyors, developers, planners, architects, property owners and their legal advisers.
