The Catholic Children's Aid Society of Toronto brought a motion to dismiss the father's appeal of a temporary order that varied his access to supervised.
The father did not appear at the motion.
The court dismissed the appeal on the grounds that the Notice of Appeal was deficient, there was unexplained delay in perfecting the appeal, the appeal lacked merit given the trial judge's findings, and the appeal was moot because a final order had since been issued in the protection proceeding.
