A ruling on costs in a child protection matter involving a protection application for one child and a status review application for another.
The trial was heard over 16 days.
The court found that the children's aid society conducted its investigation in a patently unfair and indefensible manner, including failing to thoroughly investigate before apprehension, refusing to assign a new worker, taking a restrictive and punitive approach to parental access, and executing a warrantless apprehension of a newborn child in direct contravention of court direction.
The court awarded costs against the society to hold it accountable for its conduct.
