A Canadian judge slashed treaty settlement legal fees from $510M to $23M, calling the original amount unreasonable and unfair.
A Canadian judge has reduced legal fees in a 2023 Robinson Huron Treaty settlement from $510 million to $23 million, calling the original amount unreasonable.
The $10 billion settlement addressed decades of unpaid annuities to 21 First Nations since 1874.
Justice Fred Myers ruled that fees should reflect fair compensation, not windfall gains, criticizing the lack of limits on percentage-based fees and the legal team’s discouragement of independent reviews.
The excess funds will be redistributed to the First Nations, some of whom received less than their lawyers.
