The appellants, the mother and a family friend, appealed a disposition order placing a 10-year-old child in the extended care of the Society for the purpose of adoption.
The appellants argued the trial judge erred in relying on a court-ordered parenting assessment, making different access orders for siblings, and failing to recognize their remedial efforts.
The appeal court admitted some fresh evidence but ultimately dismissed the appeal, finding the trial judge made no palpable and overriding errors and properly prioritized the child's best interests.
