- Parties: The appellants were Erwin Bastien and Piikani Nation Chief and Council on Behalf of Piikani Nation. The respondent was Brian Jackson. 

- Subject Matter: This appeal sought to set aside an application judge's judgment dismissing the appellants' application for judicial review of a decision made by the Piikani Nation Removal Appeals Board, which dismissed a petition for the removal of the respondent Brian Jackson as councillor for Piikani Nation.

The appeal alleged that the application judge erred in finding it reasonable for the Board to adopt the respondent's definition of piikanissini. This case is ongoing.

- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court of Appeal.
