Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Livingston v. Cabot Links, 2018 NSSC 138 (CanLII):
His counsel submitted the case of Carpenter v. Smith, 1951 CarswellOnt 44, to illustrate that a subdivision of land will not absolve or exempt lands otherwise dedicated. There is very little evidence on this point which came “late” in the proceeding.
