The defendant Catholic Children's Aid Society brought a motion to strike the plaintiff mother's claim against it for negligent investigation.
The mother alleged the investigation was negligent due to a failure to provide French language translation services.
The court applied the Supreme Court of Canada's decision in Syl Apps, holding that a Children's Aid Society owes its duty to the children and owes no duty of care to the parents during an investigation.
The mother's personal claim against the Society was struck without leave to amend, though the children's claims remain.
