Applications by both parents for leave to bring status review applications with respect to Crown ward children.
The mother sought placement of the children under a supervision order; the father sought access.
The court dismissed both applications, finding that neither parent had demonstrated a prima facie case for review.
The mother's application was particularly problematic given her deliberate violation of a no-access order through surreptitious contact and her demonstrated indifference to the children's best interests.
The father's application was undermined by outstanding criminal charges and the risk of further incarceration.
The court also issued a restraining order prohibiting the mother from contacting the children, given her relentless pursuit of contact in defiance of court orders.
