Restoration of boundary markers and the determination of boundary points - proposed amendments to the laws of Poland
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2020) Maślanka, Józef
The article presents proposed amendments to the provisions of the Polish Geodetic and Cartographic Law regarding the restoration of boundary markers and the determination of boundary points of cadastral parcels. The current legal regulations are both insufficient and ambiguous, which results in significant and harmful discrepancies both in the interpretation of the legislation and its application. As a result, the database of the register of land and buildings (EGiB), which keeps the records on the boundaries of cadastral parcels and the attributes of boundary points describing these boundaries, frequently does not correspond to the actual status and is therefore unreliable. Due to the importance of this data, and of the entire EGiB database, to the socio-economic system of the country, this should no longer be tolerated. In this research paper, the author highlights the problems both relating to the legal regulations on the procedure as well as to the content of the database of the register of land and buildings. In both cases, the defects carry consequences that are adverse for the quality of the EGiB data and contribute to the loss of their reliability The specific amendments to the legislation proposed in this article are to prevent the further misinterpretation and misapplication of the current legal provisions and should allow to meet the reasonable expectations and needs of the users of the data contained in the register of land and buildings, especially property owners.

Restoration of boundary markers and the determination of boundary points in the context of the reliability of the register of land and buildings
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2019) Maślanka, Józef
The restoration of boundary markers and the determination of boundary points are substantive technical surveying activities, legally regulated in Poland under Section 6 of the Geodetic and Cartographic Law on the delimitation of real properties. These activities are essential for both the proper functioning of the register of land and buildings (EGiB) as well as from the point of view of the owners who, for various reasons including peaceable possession, want to know the course of the boundaries of their properties and have them physically marked on the ground. According to the author of this research paper, the interpretations of the legal regulations on the restoration of boundary markers and determination of boundary points which have recently appeared in the Polish subject literature and geodetic journals, as well as the solutions applied in surveying practice, arouse considerable doubts and cause markerificant distortion of the data stored in the databases of the register of land and buildings as well as result in misinterpretation and incorrect application of these provisions by land surveyors. The article presents a descriptive formal analysis of the applicable provisions of law and the effects of their application on the quality of this data. The author opposes what is, in his opinion, an unauthorised, broad interpretation of the legal provisions, a consequence of which is the fact that a mere physical monumentation of a boundary point on the ground, performed under a technical procedure, fundamentally changes and increases the legal markerificance of this boundary point.
