The applicant filed an application under section 120 of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017, alleging that the respondent society failed to provide an opportunity to be heard and failed to provide reasons for decisions.
The respondent argued that the issues were already before the courts in a status review proceeding and thus outside the tribunal's jurisdiction.
The adjudicator found that while most of the complaints were subject to the status review proceeding, the complaint regarding the lack of reasons for a cancelled meeting was separate and different.
The tribunal assumed jurisdiction to hear that specific complaint.
