The father appealed a trial decision that made his child a Crown ward and denied him access.
The trial judge found that the father failed to meet the statutory test under s. 59(2.1) of the Child and Family Services Act, as he could not demonstrate that continued access would be beneficial and meaningful to the child, nor did he provide evidence that access would not impair future adoption opportunities.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the appeal, finding no palpable and overriding error in the trial judge's decision.
