The plaintiffs brought a motion on consent for a partial judgment to give effect to a settlement agreement regarding past annuities payable under the Robinson Huron Treaty of 1850.
The settlement resolves claims that the Crown failed to fulfill its promise to augment the annuity over time.
Under the agreement, the federal and provincial Crowns will pay $10 billion to the plaintiffs.
The court approved the settlement agreement and granted the partial judgment.
