What you are quoting is nothing more than a conversion factor. The courts have ruled that for all land boundary issues with regard to dimensions published in feet, the surveyor is required to use the U.S. Survey Foot as physically standardized.

Sorry, that's not the case. The survey foot is defined to be 1200/3937 meter, the international foot is coupled to the yard being defined as 0.944 meter.

Yes, the U.S. Survey Foot is required in all land boundary issues. Yes, it is physically standardized to be 1200/3937 SI meter. Show me any court ruling something different!
