The children's aid society brought a motion for summary judgment seeking an order that the child be placed in extended society care with no access.
The mother opposed the motion, arguing there were genuine issues requiring a trial.
The court found no genuine issue for trial regarding the child's need for protection and placement in extended care, noting the mother's history of domestic violence, substance abuse, and failure to engage in services.
However, the court found that material facts were in dispute regarding the quality of access visits and ordered a focused hearing to determine the issue of access.
