Motion to stay access orders pending appeal denied, but transitional access schedule ordered in child's best interests.
The applicant mother brought a motion to stay two orders granting the respondent father overnight access and police enforcement of that access, pending her appeal.
The court found the mother did not meet the test for a stay, noting her history of non-compliance with court orders and lack of a serious issue to be tried.
However, acting in the child's best interests, the court ordered a short transitional access schedule culminating in overnight access, while maintaining the police enforcement order.
