Boundary confirmed based on long-standing fence and garage rather than deed measurements.
The applicant sought to confirm the boundary between his property and the objector's property under the Boundaries Act.
The applicant's surveyor relied on the deed distance, while the objector's surveyor relied on an old fence line and garage as evidence of the original boundary.
The Deputy Director of Titles rejected the applicant's survey, applying the hierarchy of evidence to find that the long-standing fence and garage were the best evidence of the original boundary location.
The objection was allowed, and the boundary was confirmed in accordance with the objector's position.
Each party was ordered to bear their own costs.
