The Children's Aid Society brought a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the Mother's status review application, which sought to terminate the Crown ward status of her child, TAK, and return TAK to her custody.
The court reviewed the evidence, including expert reports on TAK's trauma and consistent views against returning to the Mother.
Applying the summary judgment principles and the child's best interests under the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, the court found no genuine issue requiring a trial.
The motion was granted, dismissing the Mother's application, emphasizing the child's need for permanency and stability.
