The children's aid society brought a motion for summary judgment seeking a final order for Crown wardship of a newborn child.
The parents had a history of child protection involvement, with two previous children made Crown wards due to the father's untreated sexual offender history and both parents' substance abuse and neglect issues.
The court applied the summary judgment rules and found no genuine issue requiring a trial.
The court concluded the child was in need of protection and that Crown wardship for the purpose of adoption was in the child's best interests.
