LAND REGISTRATION ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1970 - SECT 64 

Effect of description of registered land.

64.(1) Except as provided by this Act, the description of any land in any
register shall not be conclusive as to the boundaries or extent of the land.

(2) The Registrar may at any time, on the application of the registered owners
of adjoining registered lands or of the registered owner of any registered
land and of the owner of any adjoining unregistered land, and on the
prescribed conditions being complied with, settle and enter on the appropriate
register as conclusive the boundaries between those lands or any parts
thereof, with such alterations, if any, as may from time to time be agreed
upon.

(3) For the purposes of subsection (2), an entry in a register made pursuant
to an application under that subsection shall be conclusive only as between
the parties to the application and their respective successors in title, and
shall not operate to confirm the title to the lands the boundaries whereof are
settled.

(4) On the transfer of part of any registered land, the Registrar, on the
prescribed conditions being complied with, may enter on the appropriate
register as conclusive the boundaries between the part transferred and the
part not transferred.

(5) If, on the transfer of any registered land, any question arises as to the
boundaries or extent of the land, the Registrar shall, on the application of
the transferor or of the transferee, have jurisdiction to decide the question
as between them, and, for that purpose, the Registrar may, if he thinks fit,
adopt the decision of any person agreed on by them or appointed by him.
