Nuchatlaht lawsuit asks B.C. Supreme Court to recognize its rights and title over 230 square kilometres of land on Nootka Island with a declaration that would nullify the application of B.C.’s Forest Act and put a stop to logging in the area

A lawyer for a British Columbia logging company says his client takes no position on whether a First Nation has title over an area it claims on Vancouver Island’s west coast.

Western Forest Products has provincially approved logging tenures in the area and Plant told today’s hearing that the lawsuit, as it’s structured, is “incapable of fully addressing the rights of third parties and the public interest.” In a response to the lawsuit, the B.C. government denies that the Nuchatlaht hold Aboriginal title over the area and says it has met its obligations under agreements with the nation related to forest resources.
