The appellant mother brought a motion for a stay of two lower court orders pending her appeal.
The respondent father brought a cross-motion for security for costs.
The Court of Appeal granted the stay, finding that the appellant had an arguable appeal and that the balance of convenience and irreparable harm favoured her.
The Court ordered that neither party remove the child from Ontario, required the child's passport and birth certificate to remain with the Registrar, and maintained the status quo of alternating weekly physical custody.
The respondent's motion for security for costs was dismissed.
