On 13 March 2019, the High Court of Australia handed down its decision in Northern Territory v Mr A. Griffiths (deceased) and Lorraine Jones on behalf of the Ngaliwurru and Nungali Peoples [2019] HCA 7.
Two key issues considered in the case were (at [2]):
“how the objective economic value of the affected native title rights and interests is to be ascertained”; and
“how the Claim Group's sense of loss of traditional attachment to the land or connection to country is to be reflected in the award of compensation”.
