Well, the Farthest North case continues. Yes, really. I realize I said at one point that it was over – for real this time – but apparently not. GSUSA doesn’t want to concede the Alaskan Supreme Court’s decision to rule in favor of Farthest North. Originally I told myself I wasn’t going to cover anything with this case outside of who had what authority before the 2020 National Council Session, but when I heard about GSUSA not letting go, I had to comment.
Here’s what has gone on in a nutshell:
- Farthest North filed the lawsuit in Feb of 2017.
- An Alaskan Superior court ruled in favor of GSUSA in 2018.
- Farthest North appealed to the Alaskan Supreme Court and won in Sept 2019.
- GSUSA requested a rehearing and lost in Jan 2020.
- The case was pushed back down to the lower Superior court to address who gets how much in damages, etc.
