The applicant father brought an urgent motion for parenting time after the parties separated and the respondent mother allegedly denied him access to their six-year-old child.
The court considered whether the matter met the definition of urgency under the Chief Justice's Notice to the Profession regarding the COVID-19 pandemic court suspension.
The triage judge concluded the matter met the definition of urgency because it involved an allegation of wrongful retention of a child, and ordered the motion to proceed on the limited issue of access.
