It may mean(1) a wall of which the two adjoining owners are tenants in common, the most common and primary meaning of the term;(2) a wall divided longitudinally into two strips, one belonging to each of the neighbouring owners;(3) a wall which belongs entirely to one of the adjoining owners, but is subject to an easement or right in the other to have it maintained as a dividing wall between the two tenements and(4) a wall divided longitudinally into two moieties, each moiety being subject to a cross-easement in favour of the other moiety.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 957).
