An NWT Supreme Court Justice has ruled the Łútsël K’é Dene First Nation does not have to rewrite its legal claim against a law firm, but has struck portions that “seek to litigate the litigation.”

In a written decision on Monday, Justice Nicholas Devlin ruled largely in favour of the First Nation’s companies in a dispute regarding the wording of a lawsuit against Reynolds Mirth Richards & Farmer LLP, or RMRF.

Tsa Corporation, Ta’egera Company and Denesoline Corporation are suing RMRF and its four partners, alleging the law firm knowingly assisted Ron Barlas – the former head of the First Nation’s business arm – in misappropriating millions of dollars and deceiving and intimidating First Nation’s members.
