PARTY WALL

belonging to different persons, for the use of both estates. 2 Bouv. Inst.
n. 1615.
2. Party walls are generally regulated by acts of the local
legislatures. The principles of these acts generally are, that the wall
shall be built equally on the lands of the adjoining owners, at their joint
expense, but when only one owner wishes to use such wall, it is built at his
expense, and when the other wishes to make use of it, he pays one half of
its value; each owner has a right to place his joists in it, and use it for
the support of his roof. When the party wall has been built, and the
adjoining owner is desirous of having a deeper foundation, he has a right to
undermine such wall, using due care and diligence to prevent any injury to
his neighbor, and having done so, he is not answerable for any consequential
damages which may ensue. 17 John. R. 92; 12 Mass. 220; 2 N. H. Rep. 534.
Vide 1 Dall. 346; 5 S. & R. 1.
3. When such wall exists between two buildings, belonging to different
persons, and one of them takes it down with his buildings, he is required to
erect another in its place in a reasonable time, and with the least
inconvenience; the other owner must contribute to the expense, if the wall
required repairs, but such expense will be limited to the costs of the old
wall. 3 Kent, Com. 436. When the wall is taken down, it must be done with
care; but it is not the duty of the person taking it down to shore up or
prop the.,house of his neighbor, to prevent it from falling; if, however,
the work be done with negligence, by which injury accrues to the neighboring
house, an action will lie. 1 Moody & M. 362. Vide 4 C. & P. 161; 9 B. & C.
725; 12 Mass. R. 220; 4 Paige's R. 169; 1 C. & J. 20; 1 Pick. 434; 12 Mass.
220; 2 Roll., Ab. 564; 3 B. & Ad. 874; 2 Ad. & Ell. 493 Crabb on R. P. Sec.
500. In the excellent treatise of M. Lepage, entitled "Lois des Batimens,"
part 1, c. 3, s. 2, art. l, will be found a very minute examination of the
subject of party walls, with many cases well calculated to illustrate our
law. See also Poth. Contr. de Societe, prem. app. n. 207; 2 Hill.: Ab. 119;
Toull. liv. 2, t. 2, c. 3.
