Abstract

By now most graduates have been introduced to the concept of cadastral reinstatement and the dominant role that the courts play in the determination of boundaries. The power to define boundaries rests with the courts, not the surveyor. The task of a surveyor is to describe the
existing boundaries by collecting sufficient evidence and then interpreting the evidence in a way that is consistent with the precedent set by previous court decisions. In much the same way as Tolstoy described families, (All happy families are happy alike, all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way) boundary surveys where the physical evidence fits the documentary evidence are all straightforward, but surveys where the physical evidence
doesn't fit are all different. This means rather than apply rote solutions learned by rote surveyors have to apply general principals, laid down by the courts, to arrive at the solutions that they think a court will most likely agree with them.
