Litigation team for treaty annuities claim warns against leaking sensitive information after First Nations post confidential details of disbursement process to social media
The Robinson Huron Treaty Litigation Fund has received the final installment of a historic $10-billion settlement from Canada and Ontario after a lengthy court battle over unpaid treaty annuities — and now, the money will collect $1.3 million in interest for each day it sits in the legal team’s coffers while a number of proposed changes to the disbursement agreement are being discussed.
That’s just one of several new details that have emerged since some First Nations leaked confidential information to social media about a meeting between Robinson Huron Treaty (RHT) chiefs and trustees held on Manitoulin Island in late March.
