The respondent father brought an urgent motion seeking compliance with an existing access order and a police-assist order, alleging the applicant mother was denying access due to COVID-19 concerns.
The mother argued the father had not taken adequate safety measures.
The court found the matter urgent and, while affirming the importance of existing orders, acknowledged the mother's reasonable safety concerns.
The court ordered the father to meticulously adhere to COVID-19 safety measures and to provide the mother with written updates on the child's activities and precautions after each visit.
The father's request for a police-assist order was dismissed, as it was deemed not in the child's best interests given the circumstances and the mother's non-malicious intent.
