The applicant, Dilico Anishinabek Family Care, sought a protection order for a child, P.W., based on allegations of sexual abuse by the father, L.W., against his older daughter, M.W. The father and Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation brought motions for summary judgment to dismiss Dilico's application, arguing no genuine issue for trial and agency failures in disclosure and consultation.
Dilico also moved to strike portions of an affidavit.
The court dismissed both summary judgment motions, finding that a genuine issue requiring a trial existed regarding the sexual abuse allegations.
The court also dismissed the First Nation's motion to strike, noting their default in filing an answer.
The matter was directed to proceed to a focused hearing to determine protection findings.
