Rectification of errors in surveys

(1) The Commissioner may at any time undertake such field and office checks on the survey work of a surveyor as he thinks fit, or as recommended by the Board. (2) The Commissioner may, after receiving a plan for authentication under section 18, by notice in writing within one year of the receipt thereof, instruct any licensed surveyor to correct at his own expense, within six months of such notice, any error made by him in the survey represented by the plan. (3) In the event of such licensed surveyor neglecting within the time specified to correct such error, the Commissioner may undertake such correction and recover the whole cost of the correction from the licensed surveyor concerned. (4) If the licensed surveyor refuses or neglects to pay the cost of the correction referred to in subsection (3) of this section within fourteen days of the cost having been demanded of him, the Commissioner may report the facts to the Board for disciplinary action. (5) The Board may after due inquiry, order the licensed surveyor to pay the cost of correction to the Commissioner, and if the licensed surveyor refuses or neglects to comply with such order within one month after the date of the order, the Board may recommend to the Minister the suspension of the licence of the licensed surveyor.
