VREP #502 Canada's Courts Split On Aboriginal Land Title Claims With Sam Adkins

Two provinces, two court decisions, completely opposite conclusions on Aboriginal title over private lands. Lawyer Sam Adkins sits down with Adam & Matt this week to unpack the seismic legal shifts since the Cowichan Decision rocked the British Columbia real estate market last fall. From Montrose Properties' move to reopen the Cowichan case to New Brunswick's Court of Appeal ruling that Aboriginal title land claims on privately held property "sound the death knell of reconciliation," uncertainty is spreading across Canadian real estate. Why are BC and New Brunswick courts reaching completely opposite conclusions on the same legal issue? What does this mean for a final resolution on Canadian property rights? And with one to two years until the Supreme Court weighs in, what happens to property owners in the meantime? Don't miss this critical update!
