The paternal grandmother brought a motion to consolidate her application for access with the mother's motion to change the father's access.
The mother opposed the consolidation, arguing her motion was urgent and could be dealt with quickly, whereas the grandmother's application would require a lengthy trial.
The court dismissed the motion to consolidate, finding that the two proceedings were fundamentally different and that consolidating them would prejudice the mother by delaying the determination of urgent issues regarding the child's safety.
