(1) Subject to this Act a licensed land surveyor whose name appears on the Register and who has paid the annual licence fee in respect of the current year, shall be entitled to practise his profession as a land surveyor and shall be authorized to undertake title surveys. (2) Nothing in this Act shall affect the right of the Director General of Survey to employ Government surveyors, whether licensed land surveyors or not, on any type of title survey whatsoever. (3) Nothing in this Act shall affect the right of any person, not being a licensed land surveyor to undertake surveys other than title surveys. (4) A licensed land surveyor and his assistants may, for the purpose of carrying out a title survey, at any reasonable time during the hours of daylight enter upon all lands which he is employed to survey, and upon any neighbouring lands and any buildings on such lands and may emplace any boundary mark in or upon such lands and may dig up any ground for the purpose of emplacing such boundary mark and may cut down and remove any timber or other growth which may obstruct any survey line or any boundary causing as little damage as possible thereby: Provided that nothing in this section shall exempt such licensed surveyor or his assistant from liability for any damage which he may cause in the exercise of the powers conferred by this subsection. (5) For the purpose of obtaining data for a title survey, the survey plan of which is to be lodged with a Government Survey Department, a licensed land surveyor may at all reasonable times be permitted to inspect relevant Survey Department maps and plans and to take copies of such information therefrom as he may require without Licensed Land Surveyors payment of search fees, but he may not remove any such maps and plans from departmental custody and he will be held pecuniarily liable for any damage which he may cause to them while they are under his control.
