The appellant's children were brought to a place of safety by the Children's Aid Society.
The protection application was later withdrawn and the parties reached an agreement.
The appellant subsequently brought a motion for a declaration that the CAS acted unlawfully by not obtaining a warrant, and sought costs.
The motion judge declined to rule on the warrant issue and declined to order costs.
The appellant appealed.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the motion judge's discretionary decision to decline declaratory relief or in her application of costs principles.
