9. The area of any land shall generally be established according to the entry made of it in the cadastre; if there is no such entry or if there is a discrepancy between the cadastre and the title-deed, it shall be established according to the title-deed.
However, if the area actually occupied differs from that in the cadastre or title-deed, it shall prevail over the latter.
The area of any land established under this section is only valid for the purposes of its assessment under this act and the measurements necessary for that purpose are not subject to the requirements of the Act respecting land survey (chapter A-22).
