The applicant mother brought a motion seeking to limit court file access, prohibit the respondent father from publishing online information about the proceeding or file documents, and compel the removal of existing online information.
The respondent father opposed, arguing constitutional rights and stating the Facebook page was for his daughter to know he didn't abandon her.
The court found the online information provided intimate and unnecessary details about the child and mother, which was not in the child's best interests.
The motion was granted in part, prohibiting the father from publishing or keeping public information identifying the child and/or mother, both prospectively and retrospectively, under section 70(1)(b) of the Children's Law Reform Act.
The rest of the motion was dismissed, and no costs were awarded due to the limited success and insufficient submissions from the moving party.
