The appellant, a minor, appealed a decision of the Social Benefits Tribunal denying her income support under the Ontario Works Act.
The Tribunal found that the appellant's grandmother, with whom she lived, met the definition of a 'parent' because she demonstrated a settled intention to treat the appellant as a child of her family.
The Tribunal also found no special circumstances existed to justify assistance.
The Divisional Court held that the Tribunal's findings were reasonable and supported by the evidence, and dismissed the appeal.
