Children’s Aid Society of Hamilton v. C.M., A.B.-P. and J.P., 2021 ONSC 3936

The children's aid society brought a motion for summary judgment in a status review application, seeking to place the child in the permanent care and custody of his great aunt and uncle.

The maternal grandmother, who previously had custody, opposed the motion and sought the child's return to her care.

The court found no genuine issue requiring a trial, concluding that the child continued to need protection due to the grandmother's unaddressed mental health challenges and delusional beliefs.

The court granted the society's motion, placing the child with the kin caregivers and ordering limited access for the grandmother via text communication.

C.A.S v. S.W. & J.A., 2019 ONSC 1575

The Children's Aid Society of Hamilton brought a motion for summary judgment within a Status Review Application, seeking extended society care for three children (aged 16, 11, and 3) due to the parents' ongoing issues with alcohol abuse, mental health, domestic violence, and inability to meet the children's needs.

The parents failed to file responding materials or attend the motion.

The court granted the motion, finding the children remained in need of protection and that extended society care was in their best interests, with discretionary access for the two older children to the parents and all siblings, but no access for the youngest child to the parents to facilitate adoption.

Children’s Aid Society of Hamilton v. S.B. and J.H., 2015 ONSC 7391

In a child protection proceeding under Part III of the Child and Family Services Act, the Society brought a motion for summary judgment seeking findings that the child was in need of protection and requesting Crown wardship without access.

Evidence demonstrated a prolonged history of parental substance abuse, domestic violence, criminal involvement, and failure to engage with child protection services, as well as prior Crown wardship orders for the parents’ other children.

The parents did not participate meaningfully in the proceeding and failed to present evidence establishing any realistic prospect of improved parenting capacity.

Applying the summary judgment standard in child protection matters, the court found no genuine issue requiring a trial and concluded that the child’s best interests required permanence without delay.

Crown wardship without access was ordered.
