This paper will study the legal possibilities of those confirmed quarter session road reports and municipal road by-laws that created public highways over private property which were not constructed as roads. The procedures used to create the highways will be discussed. The paper will then review protection of public highways under marketability of title legislation (Registry Act, Land Titles Act) with particular attention given to actual notice. The statutory status of public highways laid out or established by virtue of a statute will be outlined.
