The applicant filed a complaint against the Children's Aid Society under section 120 of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017.

The parties reached a settlement agreement at mediation, but both subsequently alleged non-compliance by the other.

The Child and Family Services Review Board determined in a written hearing that the respondent society had complied with its disclosure and procedural obligations under the agreement.

The Board found that the applicant failed to comply with the requirement to submit an Internal Complaints Review Panel form by the agreed deadline.

As the Board's jurisdiction under section 120 is limited, no further action was taken and the file was closed.

The applicant and respondent both alleged non-compliance with a settlement agreement reached during a pre-hearing for an application under section 120 of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act.

The CFSRB found that the respondent failed to comply by mistakenly providing an Internal Complaints Review Panel with documentation outside the agreed timeframe.

The CFSRB also found the applicant failed to comply by sending additional materials to the respondent.

As the CFSRB's jurisdiction under section 120 is limited to ordering written reasons or dismissing the complaint, no further action was taken and the file was closed.

The applicant filed an application under section 120 of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017.

The applicant failed to attend a scheduled pre-hearing mediation and did not respond to a subsequent report directing her to explain her absence and confirm her intention to proceed.

The Child and Family Services Review Board concluded that the applicant had abandoned the application and dismissed it.
