Description
Manitoba Hydro wrongly imposed taxes on the Peguis Indians with respect to the sale of electricity on reserve. The Peguis Indian Band negotiated a settlement with Manitoba Hydro for repayment of these taxes to the band. The lawyers who represented the Peguis Indian Band had negotiated a contingency fee with the band and subsequently obtained a garnishing order with respect to the settlement funds to be paid to the Band by Manitoba Hydro. The Band argued that the garnishing order was invalid pursuant to sections 89(1) and 90(1)(b) of the Indian Act. This document is the factum of the Appellants.
