The Supreme Court of Canada has let stand a ruling in an aboriginal title case from New Brunswick that could strengthen protections for private landowners in indigenous land title disputes.

The top court on May 28 declined to hear an appeal by the Wolastoqey Nation against a decision by the New Brunswick Court of Appeal in December of last year.
