The Children's Aid Society of Ottawa sought leave to appeal a temporary order that granted care and custody of five children to the respondent mother, subject to conditions granting the Society access to health care and education information.
The Society argued the order improperly divided custody.
The Divisional Court dismissed the motion for leave to appeal, finding no reason to doubt the correctness of the order, as the conditions were reasonable and authorized by the Child and Family Services Act.
Furthermore, the court held the proposed appeal did not involve matters of public importance.
