This decision addresses a motion for intervener status in an appeal concerning novel issues of Aboriginal title to submerged lands and the public right of navigation.
The Court of Appeal for Ontario granted intervener status to four Indigenous communities, finding they could make a useful contribution to the appeal.
The order stipulated that interveners could not raise new issues and that affidavits filed in support of the motions were for contextual purposes only, not for adjudicative facts.
