Problems with the Judgment -- too many to list, but here's a few
=============

1. In #3. above, there are only 2 written submissions from a single Band even though this judgment is a class action suit representing 16,000 people.

2. In #3. above, we are asked to believe the written statements provided years after the fact and in the context of this lawsuit, were truthful.  How many Chiefs and council members would honestly admit that they would have done nothing?

3. In #3. above, we are asked to believe that Band chiefs and council members, on witnessing Childrens' Aid removing children,  would have stymied their inclinations because they had not been previously consulted on provision of welfare services.  In contrast, I suggest that, not having being consulted, they would be more inclined to take action.

4. In #3. above, the assumption is made that a Band council has rights to interfere in the upbringing of an adopted child when the child's birth parents don't even have that right.
