37 (1) In this Part, “sectional township with single fronts” means a township divided into sections and lots where the usual practice in the original survey was to survey the township boundaries, concession lines and side lines of the sections and to establish the front corners of the lots and the section corners. Re-establishment of lost corners, etc. (2) A surveyor in re-establishing a lost corner or obliterated boundary in a sectional township with single fronts shall obtain the best evidence available respecting the corner or boundary, but if the corner or boundary cannot be re-established in its original position from such evidence, the surveyor shall proceed as follows: 1.  If the lost corner is a corner of a township, the surveyor shall report the circumstances to the Minister who shall instruct the surveyor how to proceed. 2.  If the lost corner is a corner of a section on a township boundary, the surveyor shall determine the distance between the two nearest undisputed corners, one being on either side of the lost corner, and the surveyor shall re-establish the corner by dividing the distance proportionately as intended in the original survey. 3.  If the lost corner is a corner of a section and the concession line in front of the adjoining sections on either side of the lost corner is shown on the original plan and field notes as a straight line and the side lines between such sections and adjoining sections on the opposite side of the concession line are shown on the original plan and field notes as a straight line, the surveyor shall re-establish the corner by intersecting a straight line joining the nearest ascertainable points on the concession line with a straight line joining the nearest ascertainable points on the side line of the section on opposite sides of the concession line, but where such ascertainable points on the side line of the sections are more than 400 metres apart, the surveyor shall determine the distance between the two nearest undisputed corners on the concession line, one being on either side of the lost corner, and the surveyor shall re-establish the corner by dividing the distance proportionately as intended in the original survey and by joining with a straight line the nearest ascertainable points on the concession line. 4.  If the lost corner is a corner of a section and the concession line in front of the adjoining sections on either side of the lost corner is shown on the original plan and field notes as a straight line and the side lines between such sections and adjoining sections on the opposite side of the concession are shown on the original plan and field notes not as a straight line, the surveyor shall determine the distance between the two nearest undisputed corners on the concession line, one being on either side of the lost corner, and the surveyor shall re-establish the corner by dividing the distance proportionately as intended in the original survey and by joining with a straight line the nearest ascertainable points on the concession line. 5.  If the lost corner is a corner of a section and the concession line in front of the adjoining sections on either side of the lost corner is shown on the original plan and field notes not as a straight line and the side lines between such sections and adjoining sections on the opposite side of the concession line are shown on the original plan and field notes as a straight line, the surveyor shall determine the distance between the two nearest undisputed corners on the side lines of the sections, one being on either side of the lost corner, and the surveyor shall re-establish the corner by dividing the distance proportionately as intended in the original survey and by joining with a straight line the nearest ascertainable points on the side line of the section. 6.  If the lost corner is the corner of a section and the concession line in front of the adjoining sections on either side of the lost corner is shown on the original plan and field notes not as a straight line and the side lines between such sections and adjoining sections on the opposite sides of the concession line are shown on the original plan and field notes not as a straight line, the surveyor shall report the circumstances to the Minister who shall instruct the surveyor how to proceed. 7.  If the lost corner is a corner of a lot in a section on the front of a concession, the surveyor shall determine the distance between the two nearest undisputed corners in the section, one being on either side of the lost corner, and the surveyor shall re-establish the corner by dividing the distance proportionately as intended in the original survey. 8.  If a part of a township boundary is obliterated, the surveyor shall re-establish it by joining the nearest ascertainable points thereof in the manner intended in the original survey. 9.  If part of a concession line or side line of a section surveyed in the original survey is obliterated between the corners of a section, the surveyor shall re-establish it by joining the nearest ascertainable points thereof as intended in the original survey. 10.  If a concession line is obliterated beyond the last side line of a section in a concession broken by a lake or river at its end, the surveyor shall establish it on the astronomic course shown on the original plan and field notes from the nearest ascertainable point on the concession line in that section. 11.  If in a concession wholly or partly broken by a lake or river on its front a side line of a section is obliterated and it was not surveyed across the lake or river, the surveyor shall establish it on the astronomic course shown on the original plan and field notes from the nearest ascertainable point thereof. Application (3) Paragraphs 3 to 6 of subsection (2) do not apply to any corner of a section re-established before the 24th day of March, 1911.  R.S.O. 1990, c. S.30, s. 37.
