The children's aid society apprehended three children from their father's care due to concerns about his inability to control his temper and excessive discipline.
The society sought an interim order placing the children with their mother and restricting the father's access.
The father brought motions to strike the society's affidavit and dismiss the protection application as an abuse of process, arguing bias and a right to refuse cooperation.
The court dismissed the father's motions, finding no abuse of process and that his refusal to cooperate with services raised valid protection concerns.
Applying the interim placement test, the court found a real risk of emotional and physical harm if the children were returned to the father.
The children were placed with the mother on an interim basis, and the father was granted supervised access subject to strict conditions.
