The applicants, a mother and grandmother, filed complaints against the Durham Children's Aid Society regarding the treatment of the children and the family.
The Society brought a motion to dismiss the complaints, arguing the Board lacked jurisdiction because the matters were before the court or decided by the court.
The Board granted the motion in part, dismissing complaints related to custody and access as those were court matters, but finding it had jurisdiction to hear complaints regarding the Society's failure to provide reasons for decisions, failure to allow the applicants to be heard, and the treatment received from the Society.
