The High Court recognized the Meriam people's native title to Mer in the Torres Strait. The judgment rejected the legal treatment of Australia as land without prior owners and opened a wider route to native-title claims. Recognition remained subject to legal limits, including extinguishment, and did not return all colonized land.
