The applicant, acting as litigation guardian for his child, brought three preliminary motions within an application for judicial review of decisions by the Children's Aid Society and the Child and Family Services Review Board.
The applicant sought unredacted disclosure of the Society's investigation records, the production of a hearing transcript by the Board, and the disqualification of the Board's counsel for an alleged conflict of interest.
The court dismissed the request for unredacted records and the motion to disqualify counsel, finding no basis for either.
The court ordered the Board to release an informal audio recording of the hearing to the applicant so he could arrange for his own transcript, subject to strict confidentiality conditions.
