The applicants, Michael Atta and Delroy Hyatt, jointly charged with drug trafficking, sought standing to challenge a search warrant executed on a residence and vehicle.

They relied on the Crown's allegations to establish a reasonable expectation of privacy.

The court applied the Edwards criteria, considering their presence, control, historical use, and ability to regulate access.

Despite meeting some criteria, the court found that their occupation of the residence was not consensual but rather obtained through exploitation of the tenant's addiction.

Therefore, they lacked an objectively reasonable expectation of privacy in the apartment or the vehicle.

Their applications for standing were dismissed.

A six-day trial concerning custody, access, and support of two children.

The father sought custody of the 10-year-old daughter with alternate weekend access to the mother, while the mother sought to maintain the existing week-on/week-off arrangement.

The 17-year-old son had been living exclusively with his father for over five years with minimal contact with his mother.

The court found material changes in circumstances since the 2012 separation agreement, including the father's remarriage and blended family, breakdown in parental communication, and the daughter's escalating anxiety.

The court determined that the daughter's relationship with her mother was characterized by inappropriate role reversal and emotional interdependence, with the daughter feeling responsible for her mother's well-being.

The court awarded custody of both children to the father, with the mother receiving alternate weekend access to the daughter and one evening per week, plus extended summer access.

The son's access was left to his discretion.

Child support arrears and ongoing support obligations were calculated.
