These Rules, made under section 11 of the Commonage Act, concern commoners in the Mount Thompson and Ramsey area. The Rules require commoners to register with the Commissioner. The Rules also, among other things: require a licence to be obtained for any trade or business upon commonage land; allow a commoner to take up land of another commoner for cultivation if such land has not been cultivated regularly; set limits for the proximity of cultivation on land bordering land of another commoner; provide for resolution of disputes between commoners in relating to the use of land by a commission of commoners appointed by the Commissioner; secure free access to water resources by commoners; and prohibit cultivation of commonage land by a person who is not a registered commoner.
