Judge:

The Honourable Justice Douglas C. Campbell

Heard:

February 3, 4, 24, 25, 26, 2014 in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Subject:

Permanent Care and Custody Hearing

Summary:

The Agency sought permanent care and custody of children against the wishes of the parents who argued that they had complied with all Agency services.  Notwithstanding that compliance, the Court held that the children continued to be in need of protection and that permanent care was appropriate.  The case is somewhat fact specific.
