Downloads
Description
The Beaver Band surrendered its reserve land along with the mineral rights to the Crown. The Crown then transferred the land to the Director of the Veterans' Land Act (DVLA). The DVLA obtained the mineral rights \by inadvertence\" because they had not been reserved in the transfer from the Crown to the DVLA. The land was then sold to war veterans and oil and gas was later discovered. The band claimed damages against the Crown for allowing it to make an improvident surrender and for disposing of the land under value. The band also claimed damages against the Crown for permitting the transfer of the mineral rights to the DVLA and then to the veterans. This document is the factum of the Respondent."
