The respondent father brought a motion for security for costs regarding the appellant mother's appeal of a final custody and access order.
The trial judge had granted joint custody with primary residence to the mother, but carved out exclusive decision-making areas for the father and granted him generous unsupervised access.
The mother appealed, alleging bias, misapprehension of evidence, and procedural unfairness regarding the trial judge's appointment of amicus curiae.
The court found the appeal raised no arguable errors of law and merely challenged findings of fact and credibility.
Concluding the appeal was a waste of time, a nuisance, and an abuse of process, and noting the mother's lack of assets in Ontario, the court ordered her to post $25,000 in security for costs.
