The majority going against DeRose No 2, exclusive possession not equalling extinguishment, this opens up Ward and may go some way to clarify the inconstency tests. Wonder if will go to HCA.
ReplyDeleteJust a beginner myself, on my reading the Agreement in question presented a more robust hurdle by its detail than a standard mining grant/title?
Does the right of renewal in the Agreement deny native title holders right to negotiate if the JV seeks renewal?
Wonder if will go to HCA. minneapolis lawyers
