The Supreme Court of Canada issued a unanimous decision regarding the Robinson Treaties case, ruling that the Crown made a 'mockery' of the treaty with two First Nations for 150 years. The ruling states that the Crown violated revenue-sharing agreements but does not award a settlement. This decision comes more than a year after the Huron plaintiffs settled with the federal and provincial governments, reaching a $10 billion agreement to split the compensatory costs.
