The Supreme Court of Canada says the federal government will not have to pay billions in back-interest on pensions kept in trust for thousands of mentally disabled veterans.

The seven judges were unanimous in their ruling.

The class-action lawsuit involved 25,000 to 35,000 veterans whose pensions were managed by Ottawa between 1918 and 1990. They were judged unable to manage their own finances.

Fewer than 1,000 are still alive.

Ottawa didn't pay the veterans interest on the money in their accounts.

When they died, the principal went to the federal government.

In 1990, the Mulroney government decided to pay the interest, but passed an amendment to the Department of Veterans Affairs Act.

The statute said the veterans had no right to sue for interest on the pensions prior to 1990.

In its decision, the Supreme Court judges ruled the federal government had the right to enact the legislation. The Federal Government can change the Rule anytime.?
