The applicant father brought an urgent interim motion to prevent the respondent mother from relocating with their eight-year-old child from Windsor to Edmonton.
The mother sought to move to pursue a policing career and live with her new partner.
Applying the test for interim mobility, the court found genuine issues for trial regarding the child's best interests and no compelling circumstances to justify an immediate move, particularly given the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The court ordered the child to remain in Essex County pending an expedited trial.
