520 _aExplains why precise cadastre is not needed in England and Wales and argues that the general boundaries principle is sufficient. Briefly outlines the general boundaries rule under the Land Registration Act 2002 s60 and highlights the provision for property owners to have their boundaries determined if required. Argues that OS Digital Mapping can be used for identifying general property limits and dismisses the argument that England and Wales should adopt precise cadastre because other countries have. Points out the high cost of introducing precise cadastre and discusses the idea that it would generate lots of work for geomaticians. Concludes that the general boundaries rule suits England and Wales and is likely to last into the next century.
