The Children's Aid Society brought a motion to dismiss the mother's appeal of a trial decision that dismissed her Status Review Application and maintained a Crown wardship order.
The mother had failed to order trial transcripts or perfect her appeal due to financial constraints.
The court applied the test for dismissing an appeal for delay, emphasizing the overwhelming prejudice to the children, who had been in foster care for nearly seven years and required permanency.
Finding no merit to the appeal and no prospect of it being perfected, the court granted the motion and dismissed the appeal.
