The appellant father appealed a trial judgment granting the respondent mother sole custody of their youngest child, with no access for the father or the older siblings.
The trial judge also issued a restraining order against the father and awarded the mother full recovery costs of over $320,000 due to the father's bad faith and persistent disobedience of court orders.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding overwhelming evidence that the father had alienated the older children from the mother and that a no-access order was necessary to protect the youngest child's best interests.
The restraining order and costs award were also upheld.
