Original Corners

Just finished a Court case where the opposing Land Surveyor went through a lengthy decsertation on how he accepted pins due to their patina, mushroomed heads etc. Citing Brown's throughout his presentation. I had testified they were not original corners because they were a significant distance from Plat measurements, were 5/8 inch pins rather than 3/4 inch pins described on the Plat. One corner was a spike in a coffee can filled with concrete.Next witness was the 85 year old developer. He testified he bought and set the 5/8 inch pins and spike in the coffee can, because Surveyors don't set corner with substantial monuments. It was a 26 lot subdivision. Only 8 pins could be found in the subdivision. Curiously they were only around built cabins. The Developer's brother followed him on the stand. He testified he was his brother's "Stickman".Now my argument is the Developer is guilty of Fraud. Does the Statute of Limitations start when the Developer set the pins or when confessed under oath he set the monuments?

"...a lawyer that would take any side for money."

Isn't that a definition of a lawyer?

Lawyer ethics require them to present the best case they can for their client, which may be at odds with presenting all of the truth. Surveyor ethics require them to present the unbiased and complete truth as they have discovered it.

A Surveyor that is a Lawyer and probably sells land on the side is a major conflict of interest as soon as they are awake.

Their brain must be a wad of confusing grey matter.

If you are attempting to set that corner, then yes and somebody should call the BOR on you for being that far off.
