The applicant filed a complaint with the Child and Family Services Review Board regarding a children's aid society's handling of an internal complaint and its investigation into child protection concerns.
The society argued the Board lacked jurisdiction because the issues were currently before the court in a Children's Law Reform Act proceeding.
The Board found that the internal complaint process could not proceed as the society had not been given an opportunity to address it, and the remaining issues regarding the children's wellbeing and the investigation were not separate and different from the substantive issues before the court.
The application was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
