17 Definition of boundaries of highway
On an application under this section, a magistrate may, by a local highway order, define the boundaries of a local highway.
An application is to be in a form approved by the Director.
An application under this section may be made by the corporation or by the owner or occupier of land on, or adjacent to which, it is alleged, the highway is situated.
In making an order under this section, the magistrate, if it appears to him that the boundary is uncertain, shall fix the boundary where he thinks it ought to be, in the light of the evidence adduced before him.
