7 October 2026 | by Security for Expenses
In the historic setting of Ironmongers’ Hall, meet with other surveyors and party wall specialists, enjoy a 3-course meal, wine and coffee and hear from two speakers.
Mikael Rust, founder of FCA-regulated, Security for Expenses Ltd.
In his talk, “Sorting Fact from Fiction – Influencers and the Law”, Mikael will draw on his almost 50 years’ experience as a leading party wall expert, and a review of the law and guidance, to reveal:
- Misconceptions around security for expenses that have arisen since the Party Wall Act was introduced 30 years ago.
- How landmark cases such as Kaye v Lawrence and Chaturachinda v Fairholme clarify the law (and sometimes perpetuate misconceptions).
- Ways in which imminent changes in anti-money laundering supervision affect where security for expenses can be held.
Come away knowing when security for expenses can be required, when it can be released and how to be sure it is held in compliance with financial regulations.
Michael Cooper, P&T National Chairperson and Co-Chair of the RICS Boundaries & Party Wall Committee
Michael’s talk, “Shaping the Future of Party Walls & Boundaries: RICS Progress, Priorities and What’s Next”, will reveal exclusive first-hand insights into current RICS developments, future priorities, and what they mean for professionals across the industry.
