The applicant mother brought a motion to enforce an email direction from a family arbitrator regarding the choice of private schools for the parties' son.
The respondent father argued the email lacked the formality and clarity to be considered a binding arbitral award.
The court found that the email constituted a clear decision within the arbitrator's mandate and qualified as a secondary arbitration award under the Family Law Act.
The court ordered the award to be enforced and awarded costs to the applicant.
