The Canadian Foundation for Children Youth and the Law brought a motion for leave to intervene as a friend of the court in an appeal involving a young person.
The Court of Appeal for Ontario granted the motion, subject to conditions including that the moving party take the record as it exists, file a factum of no more than 20 pages, and make oral argument of no more than 30 minutes.
The moving party was also permitted to reference the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international treaties ratified by Canada.
