The appellant mother appealed a trial judgment granting Crown wardship of her 8-year-old child without access, with a view to adoption.
The child had been in the temporary care of the respondent society due to the mother's psychiatric problems and the child's own needs.
Expert psychiatric evidence at trial strongly recommended against continued access, emphasizing the child's need for stability and permanency through adoption.
The Divisional Court found no palpable and overriding error or error of law in the trial judge's decision to terminate access.
The appeal was dismissed.
