The applicant mother sought to suspend the respondent father's in-person access to their child due to COVID-19 concerns, requesting replacement with Skype contact.
The respondent father sought to reinstate his court-ordered access.
The court found that the mother improperly refused access and failed to demonstrate a strong prima facie case, clear hardship, or urgency for varying the existing order.
The court emphasized the duty to obey court orders and the maximum contact principle, even during a pandemic.
The father's motion to reinstate access was granted with conditions, and the mother's request to suspend access was denied.
