The applicants sought a review of the respondent society's decision to remove a foster child from their home after 14 years of care.
Shortly after the application was filed, the child passed away.
The respondent argued the application was moot and that the Board lacked jurisdiction because the foster home was closed upon removal.
The Board found it had jurisdiction, as the applicants were foster parents at the time of removal.
However, the Board dismissed the application as moot, concluding that it could no longer determine what placement was in the child's best interests due to his death.
