The outcome of a number of pending court cases in New Brunswick could be affected by Thursday’s Supreme Court decision that Métis and non-status Indians are now the responsibility of the federal government.

Rebecca Butler, a Fredericton lawyer, said she believes the decision may change the outcome of two cases she is handling, one for possession of a moose carcass and another for hunting moose out of season.

All three men charged in these cases claim aboriginal exemptions.
