Abstract | The Court of Appeal for British Columbia has recently handed down the much-awaited decision in William v British Columbia1 -- an appeal from a 2007 Supreme Court decision regarding an important Canadian Aboriginal title and rights claim. On the subject of Aboriginal title, this litigation is a slow-coming sequel to the watershed contemporary Canadian case of Delgamuukw v British Columbia. It addresses the important question of exactly what level of historical occupation is required for an Aboriginal title claim -- the trial judge steering a middle path between arguments presented, but the Court of Appeal taking a significantly narrower approach. |
