Confusion of boundaries

(1) If, in the case of a confusion of boundaries, the true boundary cannot be established, the delimitation is determined by possession. If the possession cannot be established, a piece of equal size of the area in dispute is to be allocated to each of the plots of land.

(2) If a determination of the boundary under these provisions leads to a result that does not correspond to the circumstances determined, in particular with the fixed size of the plots of land, the boundary is to be drawn in a way that is equitable with regard to these circumstances.
