Abstract
This Act concerns proceedings of the Supreme Court of Judicature to ascertain the boundaries of land held under any title or of any national land in case that there is any doubt as to the extent, identity, or boundaries of such land. Proceedings under this Act may be commenced or defended by any person (except those as specified in this Act) interested in any land which is or may be affected by the proceedings. Where national land is or may be so affected, whether directly or indirectly, proceedings may be taken by or against the Crown in accordance with the Crown Proceedings Act. Where, in the opinion of the court, the expense of investigating the claim will be out of proportion to the convenience resulting from the settlement thereof, the court may, if it thinks fit, instead of adjudicating on the claim, declare the award to be without prejudice to the claim. Subject to the provisions of this Act as to possessory titles, every award of the court under this Act shall be final and binding on all persons.
