The appellants and respondents disputed ownership of a five-foot strip of land due to a historical surveying error.
The respondents claimed title under the Registry Act, arguing that title searches need only go back forty years, which allowed them to rely on their predecessors' title and ignore the appellants' 1941 registered claim.
The trial judge ruled in favour of the appellants, but the Court of Appeal reversed the decision.
The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal, adopting the reasons of the Court of Appeal in their entirety.
