There is a court hearing on February 13 and 14, 2012 (starting at 9 am) at Courtroom 2 of Nunavut Court of Justice.

NTI recently filed a partial summary judgment motion in connection with NTI’s lawsuit against the Government of Canada, based on the failure of the Crown, over 18 years, to create a Nunavut General Monitoring Plan. A summary judgment motion allows NTI to seek judgment, and possibly money damages, on that part of our case. A summary judgment application can be made and decided before a full trial of all the issues.

Dougald Brown, NTI’s lead counsel on the case, will be available to answer questions after the hearing.
