Clause 37

The Chief Surveyor or any Government surveyor authorised by him may at any time undertake field and office checks on the title survey work of a registered surveyor or a licensed corporation or partnership.

The Chief Surveyor or any person authorised by him may, within 12 months after the date on which any survey plan is deposited with the Survey Department, by notice in writing, direct any registered surveyor or any licensed corporation or partnership to correct at his or its expense within a period specified in the notice any error in the title survey made by that registered surveyor, corporation or partnership.

If any person fails to comply with the notice given under subsection (2), the Chief Surveyor may undertake the correction of the survey and recover the cost of the correction from the person.

Where the Chief Surveyor is authorised to recover the cost of any correction of a title survey under subsection (3), he shall serve on the registered surveyor, corporation or partnership concerned a statement of the cost of the correction by registered post addressed to the last known place of practice or residence of the registered surveyor, corporation or partnership.

Subsections (2) and (3) shall not apply to an assurance plan.
