Defendants' Application:

1. • Some Defendants sought various forms of relief, including:
     • Recusal of Justice Murphy.
     • Having the matter heard by a jury of Indigenous peers.
     • Enforcement of orders from the "Alliance of Indigenous Nations" (A.I.N.).
     • Crown consultation concerning legal fees.
     • Application of Indigenous common law over federal/provincial statutes.

Court's Decision on Relief Requests:

• All claims for relief, apart from the recusal request, were dismissed due to lack of factual or legal support.
• The court found no evidence that the A.I.N. is a legally recognized body with any authority over the court.

Recusal Request:

• Defendants alleged bias, claiming a personal connection between Justice Murphy and John Risley, associated with the Plaintiff.
• The court held that the allegations were speculative and unsubstantiated.
• The judge clarified that while he had visited fishing lodges in Labrador, he had no personal connection with Risley that would affect impartiality.
• The established legal test for recusal—reasonable apprehension of bias—was not met, as there was no substantial evidence provided.

Costs:

• No immediate order for costs was made. However, the Plaintiff may apply for costs within 21 days if desired.
• No monetary award specified.
