There is much information here as to the potentially favorable outcome for Sault Tribe if the Board votes to allow this case go to a jury trial instead of settling via mediation... What plan does the existing board have for this case? Ask your board members~ I believe that ALL monies lost, including the costs to recover, should be the least amount the board should consider. However, I would not vote to settle in mediation. Instead I would prefer it go to a Jury Trial where the culprits would be made to take responsibility for their actions, the tribe would stand to gain the entire amount of the losses, and the jury has the option to award damages up to (I believe) three times the amount of the loss.
