Commentary
The Cowichan Tribes versus Canada case, recently decided by the B.C. Supreme Court, has been continuing for 11 years, including 513 days of trial hearings, and is already probably the longest trial in Canadian history and one of the most complicated. It has already been appealed and will presumably end in the Supreme Court of Canada.
