Canada's top court is set to issue a decision this morning in a case about Crown payments under the Robinson Huron Treaties that have been frozen for almost 150 years.
The treaties included a clause that states the payments should increase over time, so long as the Crown did not incur a loss, but they have been frozen at $4 per person since 1875. The Ontario Court of Appeal upheld most of the trial judge's findings, ruling that the Crown violated its promise to share resource revenues.The initial claims in the case were filed in 2001 and 2014. Subsequently, the Lake Huron group entered into negotiations with the governments of Ontario and Canada.
