After going around in circles for awhile they decided to appeal things and I noticed this on the court file:
Short summary: The revised notice of appeal is this time signed by Stanley Stump and a judge therefore punted the problem up to Ottawa. IANAL so I sat and waited until today when I by chance read the court proceedings from Jamey.Memorandum to file from Vancouver Local Office dated 02-OCT-2019 noting that a revised Notice of Appeal was tendered for filing on 27-SEP-2019. As per the directions of Justice Stratas of 17-SEP-2019, the revised notice of appeal is still signed by the Grand Chief and it is unclear whether he can represent the other Appellants. The matter was sent to FCA Ottawa for directions. placed on file.

His personal court seems to be claiming something against sixty or so individuals and organizations and court is held on the east side of Oppenheimer Park in Vancouver in his tent. Interestingly enough he referenced this decision:
https://www.canlii.org/en/bc/bcsc/doc/2 ... c1324.html
[53] In William v. Lake Babine Indian Band (1999), 1999 CanLII 6121 (BC SC), 30 C.P.C. (4th) 156 (B.C.S.C.), Taylor J. said at para. 30:
In Martin v. B.C. (1986), 1986 CanLII 1059 (BC SC), 3 B.C.L.R. (2d) 60 (S.C.) at 65, McEachern C.J.S.C. (as he then was) left open the question of whether a Band was a juridical person. Subsequent decisions have determined, however, that a Band is such a juridical person that can sue or be sued in its own right. See Springhill Lumber Ltd. v. Lake St. Martin Indian Band, 1985 CanLII 3808 (MB QB), [1986] 2 C.N.L.R. 179 (Man. Q. B.).
[54] I agree with those authorities that say that Indian bands ought not to continue under legal disabilities. In my view, neither bands nor their advisors ought to have to concern themselves with whether litigation in contemplation is one of the types where action might be permitted by the band, nor should bands have to continue to vex individuals to act in a representative capacity in order that a band’s collective legal interest can be protected.
Interesting.... Although the CNC is not a recognized band under the Indian Act, It's going to take a decision from a superior court to determine if they are a representative for their home-brew nation and allowed to sue on their own.[57] In summary:(edited for conciseness)
4. An Indian band, as defined by the Indian Act, is a juridical person that can sue and be sued in its own name.
