The Association of Ontario Land Surveyors appealed a decision dismissing its application for an order prohibiting the respondents from engaging in the practice of cadastral surveying.
The respondents, who were not licensed under the Surveyors Act, had located existing iron bars, measured distances and angles, and marked property lines for a customer.
The Court of Appeal found that these activities constituted the practice of cadastral surveying and that the respondents had held themselves out as engaging in such practice.
The appeal was allowed, and a prohibition order was granted.
