The appellant father appealed an interim order dismissing his motion to vary his access to his child from supervised to unsupervised, and the subsequent costs order of $5,000.

The appeal court found that the motions judge carefully reviewed the evidentiary record, including the Office of the Children's Lawyer report and supervised access notes, and made no error in law or misapprehension of facts.

The appeal was dismissed, with the court emphasizing that appeals of interim orders are discouraged and the matter should proceed to trial.
