Section 14

On completion of a cadastral survey, the registered surveyor who signs the survey plan of the cadastral survey must deposit that plan together with the relevant field books, calculation sheets and survey data (called in this Act survey documents) with the Authority, in any form that the Authority may approve.

If the survey plan is approved by the Chief Surveyor, the survey plan and survey documents deposited with the Authority under subsection (1) (including any copyright subsisting therein) are to be the property of the Authority and must be filed as permanent survey records.

The Chief Surveyor, on payment of the prescribed fee, may provide to any person applying for it a certified copy of any survey plan or survey document deposited with the Authority under subsection (1).

Every such certified copy of a survey plan or survey document signed by the Chief Surveyor shall be received in evidence in any court, or before any person having authority by law or by consent of parties to receive evidence, without proof of signature, as prima facie proof of all the matters contained in or entered on the survey plan or survey document, as the case may be.

A printout of any information stored in a computer in the Authority issued and signed by the Chief Surveyor shall be received in evidence in any court, or before any person having authority by law or by consent of parties to receive evidence, without proof of signature, as prima facie proof of all the matters contained in or entered on that document.[11C
