The Robinson Huron Litigation Fund has begun the return of legal fees to 21 First Nations as ordered by a judge last October.
Justice Fred Myers sided with the Atikmeksheng Anishnawbek and Garden River First Nations that the legal fees charged to reach a settlement in the Robinson Huron Treaty (RHT) Annuities case were unreasonably high.
The law firm Nahwegahbow Corbiere charged the First Nations $510 million for the $10-billion dollar settlement.
