The Public Guardian and Trustee brought a motion to quash the appellant's appeal, while the appellant brought a motion to dismiss his own appeal for want of jurisdiction.
The appellant argued the court lacked jurisdiction because the guardianship order had been carried out and the parties had moved to British Columbia.
The Court of Appeal rejected the jurisdictional arguments but granted the motion to quash the appeal on the basis that it was manifestly devoid of merit.
The appellant's motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction was dismissed.
