Synopsis

This book chronicles a boundary dispute between the provinces of Ontario and Kewaydin in the 19th century. The author meticulously examines documents and evidence presented before an arbitration panel created to resolve the dispute. The panel's decision ultimately rested on the interpretation of the 1774 Quebec Act, which extended the boundaries of the Province of Quebec. The author argues that the panel misinterpreted the Act, leading to a conventional boundary that departed from the Act's true intent. Through this case study, the book explores the legal and historical complexities of boundary disputes, highlighting the importance of precise language and the proper interpretation of legal documents.
