Abstract

In this paper, recent boundary cases are considered-but especially as related to Ontario. The choice of jurisdiction is a consequence of the original audience for whom the paper was prepared: real estate lawyers in Ontario. While the activity of case law review and discussion may be seen as an ad hoc and fact-specific exercise, most lawyers in practice choose to remain aware of recent cases in order to stay abreast of new trends. Law schools still use the case law method for teaching-as well as to identify current reported cases as harbingers of potential new trends. Likewise, legislators monitor what emerges from our courts-if only to make sure that there is not a need for remedial legislation in order to possibly "correct" policy implications of a decision or a series of decisions which signal a new trend. Despite its jurisdictional limitations and the review of only most recent cases, this paper is both an example and a reminder that the jurisprudence of boundary law and the work of geomatics professionals continues to evolve.
