The applicants sought a review of the respondent society's decision to remove a youth with special needs from their foster home.
Prior to the hearing on the merits, the respondent brought a motion to move the youth from her temporary hotel placement to a group home, arguing the Board lacked jurisdiction over interim placements.
The Board found it had jurisdiction to make interim placement orders based on the child's best interests.
Applying the best interests test, the Board dismissed the motion, finding insufficient evidence to justify disrupting the youth's continuity of care before the final hearing.
