v2.c16.50
“Law should be an object of his study, especially those parts of it which relate to party-walls, to the free course and discharge of the eaves’ waters, to the regulations of cesspools and sewage, and to window lights. The laws of sewage require his particular attention, so that he may prevent his employers from being involved in law-suits when the building is finished. Contracts, also, for the execution of the works, should be drawn up with care and precision, because, when without legal flaws, neither party will be able to take advantage of the other.”
