Mitchell V MNR
''Mitchell v MNR'', 0011 S.C.R. 911 is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on aboriginal rights under section 35(1) of the ''Constitution Act, 1982''. The court held that Mitchell's claim to an aboriginal right to import goods across the Canada– US border was invalid as he was unable to present enough evidence showing that the importation was an integral part of the band's distinctive culture. In 1988, Grand Chief Michael Mitchell, a Mohawk of Akwesasne, attempted to bring goods from the US into Canada. At the border he declared everything that he had purchased in the US but refused to pay any duty on it, claiming that he had an aboriginal right to bring goods across the border. At trial, the Federal Court agreed with Mitchell and held that there was an aboriginal right to import goods. The decision was upheld by the Federal Court of Appeal. The Supreme Court overturned the decision, and held that Mitchell was required to pay duty for all of the goods he imported. Se ...

Whirlpool Corp V Maytag Corp
A whirlpool is a body of rotating water produced by opposing currents or a current running into an obstacle. Small whirlpools form when a bath or a sink is draining. More powerful ones formed in seas or oceans may be called maelstroms ( ). '' Vortex'' is the proper term for a whirlpool that has a downdraft. In narrow ocean straits with fast flowing water, whirlpools are often caused by tides. Many stories tell of ships being sucked into a maelstrom, although only smaller craft are actually in danger. Smaller whirlpools appear at river rapids and can be observed downstream of artificial structures such as weirs and dams. Large cataracts, such as Niagara Falls, produce strong whirlpools. Notable whirlpools Saltstraumen Saltstraumen is a narrow strait located close to the Arctic Circle, south-east of the city of Bodø, Norway. It has one of the strongest tidal currents in the world.
