Litigation Support
Litigation Support provided by RTS Rights & Title Specialists Inc.
At times a First Nation makes the decision that the impacts from the activities of an industry - a mine, a dam, a pipeline - are too great. When attempts at negotiations fail, they are forced to litigate.
The RTS Rights & Title Specialists offer litigation support. We work closely with legal counsel to compile the evidence required to substantiate continuous use and occupation of a territory dating from the time of contact to present, We access census records, vital stats records, baptismal, marriage and burial records to prove descendancy from the original occupants of the territory. We also access archival records, explorers accounts, the field notes of anthropologists and archaeologists, journals, reports, publications and other available documentation to support use and occupation of a territory. Most importantly we interview the membership to document the oral tradition pertaining to your territory and continuous use of that territory.
Finally - we prepare an expert report - or a number of reports - to assist the lawyers in preparing their arguments for court. Our people are expert at this - they have assisted legal counsel in numerous court cases.
