But what does that really mean and what is the basis for following the footsteps? Exactly whose footsteps are we talking about? The effect of the statute of frauds is that what is written in the conveyancing document is considered by the courts to be the highest and best expression of the parties’ intentions. But what happens when the evidence of the footsteps on the ground conflicts with the written title? Or what if there are seemingly no footsteps to follow? In this program we will explore the concept of retracement\, how it relates to and is dependent on the document of conveyance\, and what controls when conflicts are inevitably encountered. When armed with a full understanding of the concept of retracement\, surveyors will be much better equipped to help steer their clients (and their affected neighbors) away from the pain and cost of litigation\, and towards an amicable solution based on well-placed confidence and understanding of their respective roles and responsibilities. \nSchedule of Events\n7:30 AM Registration Opens with Continental Breakfast\n8:00 – 4:45 Exhibits Open\n8:00 – 11:30 Seminar I Gary R.
