Indigenous law update: Review of recent cases

Over the course of 2019 and first half of 2020, there have been a number of significant developments in Canadian law relating to Indigenous people and their rights and interests in lands. 

This publication summarizes a number of key decisions dealing with:

• the evolving case law on the duty to consult on projects and decision-making;
• granting or dismissing injunctions in the context of project development and blockades;
• procedural issues affecting ongoing litigation in this area; and
• section 35 rights treaty and Aboriginal rights.
