The applicant mother filed a complaint with the Child and Family Services Review Board regarding the respondent society's apprehension of her two children, their placement, and the denial of access to the grandparents.
The respondent argued that the CFSRB lacked jurisdiction because the issues were currently before the court in child protection proceedings.
The adjudicator found that the issues raised in the complaint were squarely before the court, triggering the jurisdictional bar under section 120(8) of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017.
The application was dismissed in its entirety.
