LILLEY: Supreme Court backs private property rights against aboriginal claim – for now Back to video

The Wolastoqey First Nation in New Brunswick had asked the courts for a “declaration of aboriginal title” over Crown lands as well as privately held land across New Brunswick.

That request was shut down last December by the Court of Appeal of New Brunswick. On Thursday, the Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal of the case putting an end to the legal push.

What the impact will be on other court cases, such as the recent Cowichan Tribes decision in British Columbia, remains to be seen.
