'T' for two does not allow one to sit on the fence

摘要

The case Lanfear vs Chandler concerned how to resolve disparities between documentation and the position on the ground in relation to ownership of a boundary feature (20.11.13). This involved an analysis of the purpose of "T" marks commonly encountered on plans. The case involved a boundary dispute between the Lanfears, who owned number 3, and Mrs Chandler, who owned number 5. A plan in the original transfers of the properties showed the boundary line with "T" marks on number 5's side, and the transfer obliged its owner to repair a fence, existing at the time, on the boundary.
