The applicants, former foster parents of the child, sought judicial review of a Director's decision confirming the Society's rejection of their application to adopt the child.
The Society had rejected the applicants due to misrepresentations during the home study, undisclosed mental health issues, and a history of abuse in the family.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding that the Director's decision was reasonable and that he had properly weighed the evidence, including the child's attachment to the applicants against the risks posed by their misrepresentations and family history.
