This is a child protection trial concerning the disposition of a child born in 2010 who was placed in foster care at birth.
The applicant society sought a Crown wardship order with no access for the purpose of adoption.
The respondent mother proposed placement with her mother (the grandmother) under a custody order.
The father did not participate in the trial.
The court was required to determine the child's best interests under section 37(3) of the Child and Family Services Act, considering competing plans for permanent placement.
