This decision resolves a school placement dispute between separated parents for the 2025/2026 academic year.

The father sought to have the children attend schools in his catchment area, while the mother sought different placements and temporary sole decision-making over education.

The court considered the best interests of each child, their school history, and the stability of their placements.

The court ordered that E. remain at Albert Campbell C.I., I. apply to attend Albert Campbell C.I. (with a fallback to West Hill C.I. if not accepted), and M. attend Grey Owl Junior Public School.

The mother was ordered to pay the father $6,000 in costs.

The defendants brought a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the plaintiff's oppression action on the basis that the plaintiff lacked standing as a shareholder, officer, or director.

The plaintiff failed to file responding evidence and instead brought a motion to amend the claim, which the defendants opposed as statute-barred.

The court granted summary judgment dismissing the action and dismissed the motion to amend.

The court further ordered the plaintiff's lawyer to personally pay $20,000 in substantial indemnity costs under Rule 57.07(1), finding that the lawyer caused costs to be incurred unnecessarily by taking untenable positions, failing to attend court, and breaching peremptory deadlines.
