The appellant, the aunt of two orphaned children, sought an extension of time to file materials to be added as a party to a custody proceeding after missing a peremptory deadline.
The motion judge denied the extension, prioritizing the scheduled trial date and the children's need for stability.
The Court of Appeal found no basis to interfere with the motion judge's discretionary decision, noting the appellant had previously been involved but failed to take the necessary steps in time.
The appeal was dismissed.
