Sault Tribe vs. Bernard Bouchour


Sault Ste. Marie, Mi...On March 29Th, 2010 the circuit court ordered the Sault Tribe vs. Bernard Bouchour case to be mediated in the Soo before May 28Th. Parties shall have all person in attendance as necessary to have full authority to settle the case.

This may require the full presence of the Sault Tribe Board of Directors. Judge Johnson ordered the time and date for the meeting to be scheduled before April 2, 2010. At the time of this letter, the time and date and location of it is not available to this writer.

On election eve in 2004, subsequent to losing the election to Chairman Aaron Payment, then Chairman Bouchour paid out $2,600,000.00 to key employees. The tribe took the former chairman to court soon after, contending the former chairman had acted outside of his authority.

Previously to this mediation an appellate court issued a summary ruling in favor of the Soo Tribe, that ruling was subsequently upheld by the Michigan Supreme Court. If parties to the case cannot agree on a settlement, the case is set to go to jury trial in October. The trial will convene on the 12Th through the 15Th, and again on the 18Th through the 22ND.

Thank you, Charles Forgrave
