Abstract

The present Act lays down provisions relating to the clarification of land titles. Part I deals with land titles clarification areas. Section 3 establishes that where the residents of an area of a municipality are in necessitous circumstances as a result of lack of property development in the area and where there appears to be confusion as to the ownership of land, the Governor in Council may designate the area as a land titles clarification area. Part II concerns ungranted land and its purpose is to: a) facilitate the economic and efficient reconciliation of the Crown's interest in certain ungranted land; b) permit the Crown to release its interest in certain ungranted land; and c) provide clarity in respect of Crown interests in ungranted land. The text consists of 15 sections divided into 2 Parts.
