What is the test for good faith reliance on boundary errors?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Jamnisek v. The Estate of Gordan A. Wyant, 2021 ONSC 66 (CanLII):
As Laskin, J.A. explained in Teis v. Ancaster (Town), at para. 27: The law should protect good faith reliance on boundary errors or at least the settled expectations of innocent adverse possessors who have acted on the assumption that their occupation will not be disturbed. Conversely, the law has always been less generous when a knowing trespasser seeks its aid to dispossess the rightful owner.
