The Children's Aid Society brought a summary judgment motion seeking a finding that the child was in need of protection and an order for extended society care.
The father conceded the finding but argued that a trial was required for disposition, proposing that the child be placed in his care under a supervision order while residing with the paternal grandparents.
The court granted the finding that the child was in need of protection but concluded there was a genuine issue requiring a trial regarding disposition and access.
The court ordered a mini-trial with focused oral testimony to determine whether a supervision order or extended society care was in the child's best interests.
