Jack Norton

Having seen numerous examples of litigation failing parties embroiled in boundary disputes, Boundary Mediation Ltd was established because of Jack’s belief that mediation provides parties with the best possible opportunity of settling disputes. Although primarily focused on boundary disputes, Jack is happy to mediate other property matters including:

• Party Wall etc. Act 1996 (pre-award or when appealing an award)
• Adverse possession
• Rights of light
• Rights of way and other easements
• Access and oversail
• Trespass
• Dilapidations
• Landlord and Tenant matters
• Construction disputes

As a mediator, Jack combines his surveying acumen with dispute resolution skills, providing mediation services for a range of property disputes. He is a registered mediator with the Civil Mediation Council, an ADR Official with CEDR, and a listed mediator on the RICS and Property Litigation Association Disputes Mediation Service, and the Party Wall Mediation Scheme.

Jack partnered with Andrew Schofield in 2015 to grow Schofield Surveyors, where he remains as a Director. As a surveyor, he regularly acts as an expert on boundary and Party Wall etc. Act disputes as well as advising developers and private clients on a consultancy basis. He is a member of the RICS Boundaries and Party Walls Panel Working Groups, contributing as a co-author to the RICS Professional Standards on both Party Wall Legislation, and ‘Boundaries: procedures for boundary identification, demarcation and dispute resolution’.
