The Respondent Father brought a motion seeking disclosure of the complete file from the Office of the Children's Lawyer (OCL) to challenge its recommendations regarding decision-making responsibility and parenting time for the child.
The Applicant Mother opposed the motion, arguing privilege and privacy.
The court found that the Mother had waived any privilege or privacy interest by providing the records to the OCL and that the records were relevant and necessary for the Father to challenge the OCL's findings.
The Father's motion for disclosure was granted, and the Mother was ordered to pay costs.
