US EditionPremier Eby says B.C. will ask court to stay implementation of Cowichan Tribes case
Premier David Eby seeks a stay to allow Court of Appeal review after 150 private property owners raised concerns over Aboriginal title ruling affecting 750 acres.
- Requesting a stay, the provincial government will ask the court to pause implementation of the Cowichan Tribes decision to allow the British Columbia Court of Appeal to review the case.
- The B.C. Supreme Court ruled that the Cowichan Tribes hold Aboriginal title over about 750 acres on the Fraser River and found Crown grants of private titles unjustifiably infringed those rights.
- Eby said the ruling has been `very troubling for many people`, affecting about 150 private property owners, while Attorney General Niki Sharma's team collects mortgage information and Eby urged residents to come forward.
- B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad said asking for a stay did not create certainty and warned the case could affect communities and property owners across B.C., while the City of North Vancouver urged residents to `disregard` a circulating fraudulent letter.
- Justice Barbara Young said the earlier declaration was suspended for 18 months to give the Cowichan Tribes, Canada and City of Richmond time to make `necessary arrangements`, a timetable the stay will pause while the appeal is considered.
