The appellant grandparents appealed a summary judgment order that granted them access to their grandchildren at the discretion of the respondent parents.
The grandparents, who were self-represented at the motion, argued they were denied procedural fairness.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding the motion judge struck an appropriate balance and afforded the grandfather ample time to present his case.
The court also upheld the summary judgment, applying the principle from Chapman v. Chapman that parents have the right to decide whom their children see, absent evidence they are not acting in the children's best interests.
