Art. 3693 Evidence; judgment

When there's a dispute about where a property line falls, the judge will look at all the evidence before making a decision. This includes testimony and reports from surveyors or other experts, whether they were hired by one side or appointed by the court itself.

Once the judge has reviewed everything, they must issue a ruling that sets the official boundary line between the two properties. This decision is based on who actually owns the land or who has been possessing it, according to the evidence presented.

In short, this rule tells the court how to make its final call on a property line dispute. It makes sure the judge relies on real evidence, like expert surveys, rather than just guessing where the line should be.
