Full Text of § 751.64
Plain-English Summary
This is the Cullen Earthquake Act's version of the cumulative-remedies principle Chapter 3.5 states in § 751.22. Pursuing a boundary-reestablishment action under this chapter doesn't foreclose any other remedy the law already provides for quieting or establishing title to real property, or for establishing its boundaries.
Keeping both remedies available matters because a boundary dispute after a disaster of this kind might also involve claims — like an ordinary quiet title action under Chapter 4 of this title — that don't depend on the disaster at all. This section makes sure using this chapter's specialized procedure doesn't accidentally waive those other options.
