The appellant mother appealed a Superior Court decision that upheld an Ontario Court of Justice order denying her access to her children and maintaining their placement with their father under the supervision of the Children's Aid Society.
The mother had not seen her children since 2007 due to unaddressed mental health issues and had failed to comply with previous court orders requiring her to seek psychiatric assessment and treatment.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the lower courts' decisions or in the refusal to grant an adjournment, and upheld the costs award against the mother.
