The appellant appealed a decision making the children Crown wards without access, arguing she was denied procedural fairness at the status review hearing.
The children had previously been placed in her custody but were apprehended after a police incident involving alleged crack cocaine trafficking at her home.
At the time of the status review hearing, the appellant had relapsed into drug use and was in default of court orders.
The Court of Appeal found no procedural unfairness, noting the appellant and her lawyer participated in the hearing and no adjournment was requested.
The appeal was dismissed as the disposition was clearly in the best interests of the children.
